A Series of Middle-Grade Mystery Novels by John Madormo
Author Visits
If you would like my boss, John Madormo, to make a virtual (ZOOM) visit to your school, you've come to the right place.
During an author visit, John will talk about how he created me and my friends, and how he thinks up adventures for us to solve. He'll tell you about his early days as a screenwriter, and how that led to Charlie Collier, Snoop for Hire. He even tries to stump the class with some of my favorite brain teasers.
Fees
There is no charge for a one-hour in-person Meet and Greet with the author. Additional presentations are billed at $150 per hour.
"We had the pleasure of hosting Mr. Madormo for 2nd - 5th grade level visits. The staff and students thoroughly enjoyed meeting with him. They especially enjoyed his brain teasers!"

The presentation runs one hour. During that time, John talks about his journey as an author--from screenplays to manuscripts. He also talks about the Charlie Collier series and discusses the characters and plot. Then he opens it up to Q&A. He likes to end each session with a brain teasers Powerpoint (since the main character of the series is the master of brain teasers).
