I try to tailor my talks to the interests of each particular audience. A wealth of beautiful images, some of which do not appear in the books, bring the stories alive. 

Talks last around 50 minutes, and I am happy to take questions. Signed copies of my books are always on sale at a discounted price. It’s a good idea to check venues and timings closer to the date in case of changes. 

Unless otherwise stated, contact details for the meetings can be found here. If you would like to book a personal appearance, the details can be found here.
