Launching my first thriller at the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas was unique. As was participating in the California State sesquicentennial on the Capital steps holding a quarter million dollar gold nugget, teaching school children why pioneers rushed to California. Or using a rubber snake to teach fourth grade students in Fairbanks, Alaska that writing a story is easy. Or having fruit flies fly up my nose while doing a reading at the Maui Writers Conference.
The variety of author events and how they turn out are a constant surprise to me.
