Dear Readers,

 

If you are interested in a speaking engagement, please reach out using the email form above. I customarily do three events in one day: for instance, two small class readings/a Q & A/writing workshop and one large-group assembly. Neither students nor schools are required to buy the books, but it does make for a more rewarding experience for students if they’ve read one of my books in advance.

I use a PowerPoint presentation featuring pictures of my research in the brothels of India and the small towns of Nepal to introduce students to the issue of human trafficking. And I have a short video that helps create context for students to understand Cambodia and the rise of the Khmer Rouge. These require a computer, projector, and screen.

I love to stop by the local book store and sign books if possible, or meet with local media. Downloadable author photo and introductory bio are available here.

 

I don’t have any special dietary requests, although I love dark chocolate, and am happy to eat lunch or dinner with a small group of students (the staff of the newspaper or the lit magazine, for instance) or with teachers or community leaders. I also like to visit the local juvenile justice facility wherever I visit, if possible.

My goal is for your community to get the most out of my visit.
