Borg speaking to the
American Association of University Women "Thanks so much for
speaking to the Friends of the Library last night. I have never seen
them so enthusiastic after a presentation. You really went the second
mile! Was it really two hours that we grilled you on the intricacies of
being a writer?" ["Todd
Borg is an accomplished writer whose writing is gripping and
informative. His book talks are carefully crafted like his writing to
keep the audience asking for more."] - Ellen Brow, Colusa County
Librarian, Ret. "Todd Borg answered our
many questions about his writing experiences and shares pointers to
aspiring writers. His answers are fresh, exciting, amusing, slightly
revealing...but he doesn't give away the plot." - Joan Young, member of
AAUW, South Lake Tahoe Branch "He was one of the best
of our monthly speakers, ever!" - Jean Benin, AAUW
President, South Lake Tahoe Branch "We all felt that you
were terrific." - Jerry Noosinow, The
Gentlemen's Autochthonous Book Society "Thank you Todd Borg
for helping to make our annual Wine for Words event such a great
success! As our guest author, your presentation was fun, interesting and
very informative. Your fans in Placerville are looking forward to many
more thrillers with Owen McKenna & Spot."

TESTIMONIALS "Our Carson City Library Friends group had 70 people at our Annual Dinner Meeting largely because speaker Todd Borg was such a great draw. Members enjoyed hearing how Todd creates his characters using our own locale. That they could buy a copy to read as soon as they got home was added fun. I'm certain our annual meetings will be even more successful thanks to our great experience with Todd. Thanks again, Todd, for coming and being so gracious and professional." - Carson City Friends of the Library - Bob Gaw, The Gentlemen's Autochthonous Book Society "Thank you for including Todd Borg in your line-up of author presentations through the Library lecture series. Todd has been one of my favorite authors for years, not only because of the great mystery reads taking place in our beautiful surroundings, but also because of his charming personality. His lecture at the Library proved once again that Todd's own character is as captivating as Owen McKenna's - maybe even Spot's!" - Zee McClintock "On behalf of the El Dorado County Library and the Friends of the Library, I would like to express my gratitude for your participation in our Wine for Words benefit. I have received wonderful responses from our guests who found you to be charming, funny and approachable." - Jeanne Amos, Library Director, El Dorado County Library "We were most impressed by your depth of knowledge and experience regarding the art of mystery writing. Your speaking style is relaxed and engaging with enough humor to keep your audience in a good mood." - Sam LeBarron, The Gentlemen's Autochthonous Book Society "The kids were in awe, especially the sixth graders. They continued talking about your visit and some of the things they had learned about being creative and writing days after you were here." - Jonell Fonderhide-Stumpp, Riverside Middle School "Todd's easy going style and love of writing really came through in his talk at our library. Everyone enjoyed hearing how he came to write the Owen McKenna series and develop his characters in each of his books. Reading an excerpt from his latest book captured the audience and gave us just a taste of what is to come in his next installment. I can't wait to read the rest!" - Laura Einstadter, Amador County Librarian "People are still commenting on how much they enjoyed hearing the 'stories behind the stories' that you told." - Rita Lovell, Markleeville, CA Alpine County Librarian
