Author Visits
The Kingswell Kid Detective series debuts in May 2026. Each book in the series addresses a number of topics engaging to both children and educators. My author visits are customized to fit the needs of your students.
Writing Workshops for Schools
and Homeschool Groups
Painting with Words
I teach basic principles while exploring writing's creative aspects. This workshop includes the revision/editing process, but I can tailor any workshop to cover specific elements teachers need emphasized. Though I have taught this workshop to elementary students, I can create a workshop for any age group.
"I want to thank you so much for visiting Zundy Elementary last week. The way you presented your lesson to the students was thought provoking! You also inspired the students to be more creative and descriptive writers! You also expressed how important editing is for all writers! Thank you."
- Sharon Lewis, Librarian
Speaking
I am available for Christian women’s events, small groups, Sunday school, Bible studies, and grandparent events as well as youth and children’s programs. I hope to impart a love of Scripture with practical, real-life applications.
“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”
― C.S. Lewis
