Presentations and Workshops

Writing Craft:

Plotting by the Bones
Step-by-step instruction on how to merge situation and character to build a story structure (called the "bones"). Handouts available on the Classes page.

You Can Make a Story!
  (This class is for 2nd to 4th grade kids)
This is a fun class where we create characters and put them in a serious pickle. We're not so concerned about whether the story is a book, play, or a song--just that the child exercises his creativeness.

Research:

Here, There Be Dragons
  (with Eilis Flynn)
Dragons have a strong tradition in nearly every culture--some fearful, some honored. Here Be Dragons examines the mythology around the globe and how we can draw from other cultures to enrich our own.

Faeries Along the Silk Road
  (with Eilis Flynn)
Faeries and other supernatural creatures have lived long in our mythology, and they're found everywhere, not just in Ireland. Starting with Hollywood, Eilis and Jacquie will take you on a journey along to the UK, then turn right to Silk Road across Asia, and sail the Bering Strait back to America, visiting faeries and exploring the worlds in which they live.

Gamblers and Lightskirts
Step back into the Old West--a smoke-filled saloon with a professor playing the honkytonk piano, a bartender shining shotglasses with a towel, a mustached gambler dealing from the bottom of the deck, and a tipsy barmaid, ready to take the gents upstairs--just as soon as the gambler wins the next hand.
