Do you want the secret?

We're at a moment where we're going to need people to pull together. In the days (years?) ahead, we'll find unlikely allies & some of them are going to have a lot of catching up to do. When we push forward, we need to welcome everyone to do it with us.

A few years ago our publicist got a load of cool opportunities for one of my authors to speak to MAJOR audiences.
