My standard school presentation lasts 60 minutes. I spend 30 minutes discussing why I write my books; my background at NASA and how that feeds into my writing, including incorporation of STEM into my novels; and my writing process, from coming up with a story idea to completing a novel for publication. As part of the presentation, I address Common Core ELA standards.

After the presentation, I take questions for about 15-20 minutes, and leave 10 minutes at the end to autograph and personalize books for students who want to purchase their own copies.

Schools may purchase my books at a discount price when ordered through your Ingram account or you can purchase through my publisher using the Discount Order Form for Schools. A copy of the school’s Tax Exempt Certificate should accompany the order.

If students want to purchase their own copies, the books may be pre-ordered and I will autograph and personalize them for each student. I have a form that can be sent home to parents in advance of my visit.
