Virtual presentation, Seafaring Cats of Gotham.

I am available for virtual author events across the United States and for in-person presentations in the New York City metropolitan region (including northern New Jersey and the Hudson Valley). If your organization or library is interested in hosting a program, please contact me at hatchingcat@gmail.com

I currently offer a variety of one-hour PowerPoint presentations; I can also develop a custom presentation based on your specific needs, including time limits, animal interests, or borough. All presentations are kid-friendly, but they are primarily geared for adult animal lovers and NYC history fans.

Recorded Virtual Author Event: True and Unusual Animal Tales of Old Brooklyn

Once upon a time, hundreds of cats worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard; America’s first canine police unit was established in Parkville; a turtle made an annual pilgrimage to a Bay Ridge bar; a dog was an honored guest on the first train through the Joralemon Street Tunnel; and a blind cat who wore glasses saved Brooklyn Borough Hall from burning down when he was 27 years old.

Join me as I take you back in time to explore the city’s history via amazing stories about Brooklyn cats, dogs, horses, and other animals that made the newspaper headlines in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
