We're all in this together. However, sometimes when our lives and schedules are turned upside down it becomes the perfect time to get to those things that we've put off for so long. Is writing your novel one of those things? If so, I can help. I've been using Zoom meetings to connect with friends, family, and colleagues, and can do the same with you.

Teachers, I'd love to use this application to talk to your students, if it's something that can be coordinated. Though I love the hands-on activities with the kids, this is the next best thing. Please don't hesitate to contact me if this is something that interests you.

Stay safe, stay strong, be healthy, and practice social distancing. We'll be through with all of this soon enough.

My school visits to the Kickemuit Middle School on 3/13 and 3/27 have been postponed due to the COVID-19 threat.Since my visits include hands-on activities, it's best to be cautious and postpone such events until a future date. Rest assured, I'll honor all of my commitments as soon as things calm down a bit. I'm sure everyone understands.
