Author Talks
My year plan includes talks to groups. In the past my subjects have included “Why did I start writing?” My PowerPoint shows photos of my journey to Palestine to find a historic battlefield, hosting a biblical battle and another in 1918, three thousand years apart, and the reoccurring miracles.
I have also given talks on the history of the Poppy Factory, creating great interest among audiences, after my thirty years of association with this remarkable organisation.
During lockdown I gave an online talk on my book From Eden to Babylon, covering the fascinating history of Mesopotamia in WW1. Unfortunately my WIFI gave way just before question time! I am currently rewriting this book under the new name of The Rivers of Eden and I am giving an updated talk on this to the Over 55 Club later in the year.
I so enjoy these occasions and they are very good for subsequent book sales and for finding new readers. If you belong to a Club of any kind within say 50 miles of Cheltenham, I would love to come and talk to you.
Very Best Wishes
