The Hopewell Public Library in Hopewell, NJ, invited me to talk about Miracles and Moments of Grace for its Wednesday Night Out series at the Train Station in the borough, where I live.

One of the chaplains whose story appears in the book, Navy Chaplain (Cmdr) Brad Hoffman, joined me for the book talk and signing. In the book, Chaplain Hoffman tells of being called up on 9/​11 to serve at the Pentagon.

To the left are photos from the event. It was a great turnout of long-time friends and neighbors, as well as many new friends. The air conditioning wasn't doing the job on the 90+ night, but Chaplain Hoffman took care of it. Guess they're used to getting the job done in the Navy!

Thank you for hosting me, Anne. It's an exhilarating thing for an author to be surrounded by everyone who has been cheering her on for all the years of seemingling fruitless writing!

The library of the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, invited me to speak about MMG. The audience was warm and welcoming, and the library staff went all out to make the event a success -- they even made cookies!

I was joined at the event by one of the chaplains in Miracles and Moments of Grace, Army Chaplain (Col.) Barbara Sherer, who told her story of finding a surprising item amid the ashes of a dining tent fire in Kuwait.

The Library of Congress's Veterans History Project invited me to join their celebration of The Four Chaplains, four inter-faith military chaplains who heroically lost their lives on the USAT Dorchester during World War II. It was held in conjunction with the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C.

At the event, I met up with two of the chaplains in Miracles and Moments of Grace, retired Navy Chaplain (Captain) Arnold Resnicoff and Air Force Chaplain (Captain) Christopher Reeder and his wife, Jennifer. Thank you for inviting me, Jason Steinheuer of the Veterans History Project.
