Carla Killough McClafferty

Like many people, my work involves lots of different things. I write non fiction children's books. I also write inspirational books for adults. That means that as a speaker, I make presentations of two different types.

For information about my presentations to schools, teachers, and writer's conferences, see the "Schools" page on this website.

For information about various presentations suitable for a Christian audience, see the "Christian" page on this website.
