Possible speaking topics
If you decide to invite me to speak at your group, club or church, I am happy to suggest a topic or to fit in with what you might suggest. I am comfortable speaking on a general writing-related topic or on a specific area of the Christian faith. I almost always include illustrations from my own life journey and my books that will hopefully connect well with those listening.
Here are just a few examples of topics/general areas I am often asked to speak about. Some emerge as key themes in my novels, while others form the basis of my three non-fiction books--Soul Friend: The story of a shared spiritual journey; Becoming Me: Finding my true self in God; and Swansong: Start creating your legacy of life-giving words today.
Talks I currently have available for community groups:
