Invite Patricia to Speak:
I'm always thrilled to talk about books, my personal journey, and the writing life with members of libraries, new age/metaphysical groups, business groups and women's groups, to name a few. And, always, I love talking to writers, sharing what I know about elements of writing, storytelling, publishing and marketing, and even how they can quit their day job (contrary to popular myth) and make a living doing what they love to do: writing.
You can choose from the topics below or I can tailor a talk specifically for your group.
