FOR BOOK CLUBS:

Meet the Author: I would love to reach out to as many book clubs as possible, either through attending your meetings when I am in a city where you meet or by arranging "phoners" where I would call in to your club during the meeting when you were discussing my book. Please contact me at adeadmanspeaks@yahoo.com  to arrange to meet either in person or by phone. I always enjoy hearing reactions to the characters and the story and book clubs are an important part of getting Clive's story and the message behind it out to as many people as possible.

FOR NON PROFITS:

I believe in the power of reading and that books can change lives. I'd be happy to donate a signed copy of my book to non profits who would like to make the book available to individuals whom they serve, particularly young adults and women.
