Events
Available for readings, presentations, and speaking engagements for: book clubs, school and community groups.
Just a note to say how much I appreciated hearing the background and process of book writing and publishing. I read and never think about what has gone into bringing that book to my hands. One of our very best meetings!
“You make history come alive.”
Laurie is a natural at adapting her presentation to the age, stage and interest of the audience. And I could listen to her read for hours!

Laurie gave an excellent talk on historical research and her new book [Finding Home].
“The residents are still talking about your wonderful presentation. We’ll buy a copy of each of your books for our library.”
“It was great how you involved the audience.”
Thanks so much for suggesting that we read The Medal by Laurie Ness Gordon and for arranging for Laurie to be our guest tonight. It was fascinating to hear her story about the life of a writer, challenges with publishing houses, the characters, necessary research and so much more. She is one dynamic, talented and energetic woman.
