What is the aim or goal of your writing:
By believing that you can do whatever it is you want to do if you set your mind to it. I wrote this book while I held two part-time teaching positions, and it was a great deal of ongoing work. But when you have a love and interest in something, it is not hard to accomplish your goals if you are focused and have objectives. I consider myself to be resourceful with a very strong and driven work ethic, but also patient and a bit of a perfectionist!
May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes
Yes, and especially because I have teaching experience. I have wanted to visit Michigan History classes for a long time to discuss my book and emphasize how large and small communities throught Michigan have had an impact on our state, the nation and the world. I want to promote leadership, particularly in the smaller towns, by recognizing the assets of their communities, and of others statewide.
