Book Tour

I never imagined that the title of my book, Welcome to Wherever We Are, would be so prophetic for our times but it is! I was so excited to start my book tour in mid-February yet after just a month, it was severely truncated due to COVID-19 and restrictions on travel. I am looking forward to the day when I can go back on the road and meet readers in person. Until then, please know that I would be thrilled to participate in virtual events including conferences, webinars, classes, book clubs, and discussion groups.

I’m continually updating this site with stories and pictures from my tour, and I invite you to come back here to see my latest news. I launched my book in my hometown of Cleveland, OH area on Sunday, February 16, 2020 at Barnes & Noble Eton Collection, and then I headed to Chicago, IL, Madison, WI, Boston, MA, Hilton Head, SC, and Spartanburg, SC.

For book clubs, classes, and discussion groups, I have put together a series of questions to help talk about the book. View the discussion guide.
