This year, 2020, promises to be exciting with several book talks already arranged. Plus–my next book will be published sometime this summer. Forgotten Artist is about Evylena Nunn Miller, a landscape artist, the youngest to have her paintings in the Smithsonian. She has a wonderful story and I am honored to be able to share it with you. I’ll keep you posted as we move into this new year. A reminder: if you have purchased one of my books, don’t…
It was a stunning day in San Francisco and my talk at the St. Francis Yacht Club proved to be very successful. A special thanks to everyone who made it possible.
I am honored to have been asked to speak at the beautiful and prestigious St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco during their Wednesday luncheon on August 21, 2019.

I will be talking of course, about “Dearest Minnie, a Sailor’s Story“. So few know much about Teddy Roosevelt’s Great…

I spoke to a crowd of about 40 people on one of my favorite subjects: Teddy Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet. I so enjoy presenting this topic with the many postcards I have inherited and collected to people who know very little about this subject. I always encounter a welcoming group of people and this time was no exception. I enjoyed…
I am a bit late with my ‘welcome’ and did not spend time in January promoting my books. I needed a break but I am now ready to surge ahead. Tuesday, March 12th I will be giving a talk and Power-point presentation to OCLI, (Oregon Coast Learning Institute) close to Lincoln City. I always enjoy giving presentations about my book, Dearest Minnie. It is such a unique and obscure piece of history told with colorful postcards for that event. My…
