Talks & Events

We have been offering a series of exciting talks and events following the release of Breathtaking in 2022. After celebrating with a series of book launch events in Seattle WA, we set off on a two month 1650 mile Bike and Book speaking tour down the west coast of the US. We are now back in the Pacific Northwest and holding book talks and events throughout the region.
