Author Visits Schools, Scouts and Groups
I love meeting my readers! Reading to and inspiring young minds is the most rewarding thing an author can do to give back. Encouraging the use of the imagination is key.

Libraries and bookstores are the backbone of this industry. Whenever an author can give back by meeting with the public and discussing our books, it's a must.
I attend multiple events, book festivals, church bazaars, and a variable of markets across Texas just about every weekend. I thoroughly enjoy getting out and meeting future fans!

Imagination is the catalyst behind every good fiction story. By allowing yourself to unlock your imagination you can literally do anything in the universe – and then some! So, if you can think of the next step your character should take, you can start writing that character’s story. Soon, that character will start taking on a life of his or her own. Before long, your imagination will shock even yourself as your story continues. I’ll admit that even I have found myself laughing hysterically or crying crocodile tears as my fingers type out a scene I was not prepared for. When your story shocks even you – the writer – you know it’s going to be good! That is exactly why Imagination is key!
As an only child I discovered the joy of entertaining myself through my stories and carry that thrill through the writing process to my young readers. I love going to schools and visiting libraries. Reading to and educating children is a true joy of mine. Would you like to meet award winning Texas author Kathleen J. Shields? Please contact me if you’d like to have an author visit your students.
