I still make Author Visits to elementary schools, selected middle schools, writers and reading conferences, churches, bookstores, book clubs, libraries, universities and colleges. When you have me, my books, and the film Just an Overnight Guest based on my book (same name), you've got a winning combination! Email me! Interested students and teachers should include their names, title (if teachers), and names and mailing addresses of their schools. This unique national festival is sponsored by the National Association of Black Storytellers, Inc. (NABS), headquartered in Baltimore. I was NABS' national president from 1990-1992, and national South Carolina festival co-director in 1991. For info about the 2013 festival and the association, founded by the late Mary Carter Smith and the very much alive Linda Goss, go to: www.nabsinc.org The Brown Bookshelf is a celebration of books by African American authors and illustrators.
