With the release of the fourth book in my Paul
Jacobson Geezer-lit Mystery Series, Cruising in Your Eighties Is Murder, I’m in
the process of putting together a new presentation. I speak at Optimist,
Kiwanis, Rotary Clubs, other service organizations, retirement communities,
libraries, writers groups, etc. For each of my books, I’ve developed a new
presentation, so I can go back to the same groups without boring them. I keep a
running file of ideas and spend a week or so going through this file to
consolidate the ideas into a coherent presentation. Then I write a script and
practice it. I take walks almost every day, and this is an excellent time to
practice. So if you see someone on a walking path talking to himself, it could
be someone on a cell phone, a person communicating with aliens or me,
practicing my speech.
As an aside, I had a wonderful weekend attending my first national board meeting of Mystery Writers of
America. I also enjoyed some great discussions with fellow Murderous Musings author Beth Terrell.
