I briefly introduce some of the books I've written and discuss how I get my ideas. I tell children the story of how I became a writer in the fifth grade. Using PowerPoint, I talk about the research I do in writing a book. Sometimes I use images related to my books How to Make a Mummy Talk, Bodies from the Bog, Bodies from the Ash or Bodies from the Ice to help students understand the work involved (and the pleasures of research). I conclude by discussing how much fun writing is and encouraging students to write their own stories. 

If there is time, I may read a small portion of my novel The Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose or The Mystery Club of Luna Drive. I always allow time for children to ask questions at the end of my presentation.
