SPECIAL BOOK GROUP DISCOUNT: Book groups get 10% off for orders of five or more of one title mailed to one address. Please contact me through the contact form below to order books, rather than ordering them through the store on this site. [Shipping charge is still $2 per book].

APPEARANCES: Maureen is happy to speak to book groups (virtually or personally, depending on where they are). She doesn’t charge a fee. She’s also happy to speak at libraries, for which she’s happy to accept an honorarium if the library offers one, but otherwise does not charge a fee.
