Speaking engagements are as important to me as writing. I call myself a raging extrovert and love any opportunity to share my love of writing, blogging, social media, marketing, and Jesus with other writers.

“Twenty Ways to Blog About Your Book Without Blogging About Your Book”
January 24, 2015
WriteTech Conference
Most writers don’t enjoy marketing. The last thing they want to do is get on social media and ask people how to buy their book. My theme is “Use Your Book to Sell Your Book.” I use blog posts from successful authors to show to use your research, writing, and rewriting to sell your book. Your writing journey can easily be converted into your marketing journey.
