Events I’m extremely grateful for the event opportunities I’ve had in the past and for the ones that will be available in the future. My home is in the Monterey Coast, California area and I’m thrilled to do events close to home. Unfortunately, I am not available to attend events out of California at this time, however, there are occasions during the summer that I am able to travel in other parts of California for conferences or author panels. Drop me an email for requests. Also, I am a Skype Author. Which means I’m available to participate in 30 - 45 minute Skype calls for book club meetings to discuss my books. Again, contact me for requests. Thank you! ~Kellymailto:kellyparra@earthlink.net?subject=Event%20Requesthttp://skype.com/mailto:kellyparra@earthlink.net?subject=Skype%20Callshapeimage_6_link_0shapeimage_6_link_1shapeimage_6_link_2
