<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">We just had Tamara Palmer, author of <i>
Missing Tyler</i>, come and present to students for half the day. She did an interview with our publications students, 2 presentations, and 1 writers' workshop.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I was very impressed and pleased with her demeanor and interaction with the students. She lives just outside of Chicago. She is willing to Skype, and she does in-person presentations. I would highly recommend her. I
really enjoyed her novel. Her characters and dialogue are realistic and the story is engaging.
