Dear Readers and Reader Groups:

The "Around The Bay Book Club" and their yacht at the Sausalito Yacht Harbor

I receive many requests from readers, book clubs, and teachers to share information about the numerous varied and colorful characters and locales, historical and contemporary, that appear in my books.

These are discussed in the BOOKS section, along with essays about my books and READERS GUIDES for classrooms and Book Clubs.

If you would like me to speak to your book club or class, or if you would like an interview, or just to ask a few questions, please click on CONTACT THE AUTHOR above and we will make every effort to fulfill your request.

I look forward to hearing from you!
