Author visits via SKYPE:

Here, I'm introducing my latest connect to readers, teachers, librarians and writers. Living in Colombia limits my school visits abroad (or I should say, "limited"). Now, though, with the magic of Wi-Fi and Skype, I can come to you ... anywhere, anytime!

For students, book clubs, libraries, book chats and more!

Ask me Anything!
Venue: Wherever you are (anytime, anyplace!)
A SKYPE visit where students are invited to ask me anything about being an author, my writing process, the business behind the books, living in Colombia, traveling ... and more. It's a fun free question/answer period for your students to connect with me. I'll even show them the view from my window so they can see a bit of Colombia!

About the book:
Venue: Wherever you are (anytime, anyplace!)
Why did you end the book that way? What happened to Nicole? Have you ever wanted to change a scene, go back and edit it out? What's your favorite/least favorite scene? How did you know you were done with the book? Why did you choose that title? Who did the cover art?
Lots of times, readers contact me with similar questions, and your students or book club might just have the same ones for me. After reading one of my novels, this is a great way to get into the "behind the scenes": what did I do on purpose, what came out subconsciously or was a great accident. How many times have you read a book and just wanted to talk to the author. This is your chance! To help your students, book club, or library gear up for author chats, I recommend you go over these great discussion guides before my visit.

Compromised Discussion Guide
Compulsion Discussion Guide

Skype is a wonderful way to interact with readers on a more personal level. I'd love to come visit you, and this is how to get me there!

Support First Book.Org (taken from their Website):
"To date, First Book has distributed more than 85 million books and educational resources to programs and schools serving children from low-income families throughout the United States and Canada." Truly, the lives of children are being changed one book at a time.
