APPEARANCES

I wrote Pinned with two objectives in mind: To offer teenage readers (particularly reluctant readers) something fresh and interesting to read, and to put the sport of amateur wrestling in a positive light. I believe I have achieved both. Education (literacy) and the positive influence that wrestling has had on my life, are issues that are near and dear to my heart and I would welcome the chance to speak about both.

With the hardcover and unabridged audiobook versions of Pinned now available, I am working on a full slate of library, school and bookstore readings/appearances in 2005. I also look forward to addressing wrestling clubs and associations. If your organization is interested in contacting me, please send an e-mail to ACM7673@MSN.com.
