After Twenty Years of Writing
|
Below you will find my complete book list. However, since the list spans more than twenty years, not every book is still in print. I've noted the availability of each title for your convenience. When in doubt, try me: I carry a large inventory of most of my books. Feel free to try Amazon as well (many of my books are sold there either directly through Amazon or through one of its secondary booksellers). And, of course, there's your local independent bookseller, too.

Most of my books are for the educational market rather than the trade market, which means that generally they are not available at retail bookstores. However, here are several ways to order my books for your school or library program. First of all, you can order them through me. I usually carry a large inventory of both my in-print and out-of-print books. I have done pre-visit orders before without much problem. I can develop a book order form specifically for your school that can be sent out ahead of my visit. Please contact me for more information.

Another way to order my books, which makes it easy for everyone, is to have parents order directly from Amazon. Most of my books are listed with Amazon, and can be ordered with a discount that makes up for the shipping charge. Ordering this way puts the burden of ordering on parents; there's little or no paperwork for you. Parents order ahead of my visit and then just have their child bring in their book(s) a day or two ahead of my visit. I am happy to sign any and all books that students bring in, even old dog-eared books of mine that have been around for awhile. Please contact me for more information.
