Speaking/Classes/Workshops
I enjoy teaching writing/literature and journalism, and love to lead writing workshops in various venues. I have a passion for sharing with church and other groups about faith and life and living your dreams and ministry and family life and parenting. I love to speak to students and schools and service organizations and various groups about the writing life, and the process of writing and researching my book Image of America: WEST LINN.
