The Teachers & Students at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School

Last week I had a big speaking day with over 400 students at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School in Oceanside, California. It was a blast! I'm always amazed by the insightful and from-the-heart questions I get from the students. MLK was no exception. They were great! Hats off to the Language Arts teachers. With so many students and the doubling-up of classes, there were no problems at all. That's so amazing because they do this EVERY DAY!!! Wow! Special thanks to Angela Miller, Ken Fraser, Julie Smith, Doris Nyman, Gaylene Gray & Linda Hosaka for a fun day!

Women with Words and Wine

I had a fun evening with the Women with Words and Wine Book Club, January 25, 2009. The Club members have a lot of interest in writing their own stories. I hope they pursue it. Everyone there was well-read and I'm sure very capable of some really good work. Go for it, ladies!!

Oceanside Library Talk

I had a fun event at Oceanside Library on January 21, 2009 arranged by Franklin Escobedo, The Young Adult Service Librarain. I enjoyed all great feedback from the students, and the food was good, too. :) Thanks, Franklin.
