BOOKING
THE AUTHOR FOR PERSONAL
APPEARANCES
One
of my favorite things
about being an author
is sharing my book and
personal experiences
with captive audiences within
academia, libraries, business, charities,
maritime groups, clubs,
social events, etc.
I target each presentation
to the needs and interests
of my audience. Typically,
my talk includes
a 6-minute clip form “CBS
Sunday Morning” with Charles
Osgood,
by whom I was interviewed.
I then share my personal
experience, that
of other survivors,
as well as the controversy
involved with the collision,
rescue
and sinking of
the Andrea Doria. Questions
and answers follow. The
duration of
my talk plus Q & A can
last from 30 to 60 minutes,
based on request.
I also bring artifacts
and/or a survivor’s outfit,
historical photos, and related
books depending on the
facilities.
Since
Alive on the Andrea Doria
encompasses a wide variety
of topics, it appeals
to:
. History
and maritime enthusiasts
. Teachers
and students of social
science, history, and
Italian
. Seekers
of adventure and mystery
. Seekers
of inspirational stories
. Non-fiction
writers
Within the context of
my book, I am prepared to
expand upon:
. History: post-world
WWII immigration, transportation,
discrimination
. An
author’s journey: from
the decision to
write, to getting
published
and marketing
. Character
education: the
main focus of my books
is life ethics, i.e. seeking
the good, following
one’s heart, pursuing the
truth, gratitude, courage
and
heroism, pride for
one’s heritage, the immigrant
work ethic that built America,
and leaving a legacy,
improving the quality of
people’s lives
. Italian
and French language: presenting
the story in Italian or
French
. Gratitude:We
must be thankful for all
our challenges, even catastrophes;
they teach us our
greatest lessons. I can
mention other examples from
Thank God
I…Stories of Inspiration
for Every Situation (For

inspirational presentations,

God I…)
. Women's
role in survival: the
Andrea Doria women
