At various book-signings, book talks, and community events, I will also be holding collections of humanitarian relief supplies to support the millions of Ukrainian adults and children affected by the war. The majority of these efforts are in support of Lift Up Ukraine.
For book clubs interested in reading The Baba Yaga Mask, I’d be honored to join your meeting to discuss Ukraine, its folk art and history, strong women, and travel fiction with a multi-generational suspense story. And in addition to an author visit, your group can make a difference in the lives of far-off families.
As I’m scheduling virtual and in-person visits to book clubs in the coming months, I’m encouraging book club members, friends, and neighbors to contribute to our donation drives for Lift Up Ukraine and/or The Ukrainian National Women’s League of America.
Contact me today if your book club might be interested in chatting and so much more!
Reading allows us to empathize with those whose lives are different from our own. Whether picking up a signed copy of The Baba Yaga Mask at these events, another book that calls to you, or simply dropping off supplies or a gift of support, we’d love to see you!

On July 14th, 2022, this live-streamed conversation about Ukrainian folk art, dance, and culture, packed with talented Ukrainian artists, served to educate and inspire in the tradition of Kris Spisak’s past “Story Stop Tour” events, while also acting as a fundraiser for the UNWLA – the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, Inc., a powerful group now focusing on medical assistance to the people of Ukraine, as well as taking care of those orphaned by the war.
Thank you for your support, everyone!

I have been talking so much about Ukrainian artistic traditions, history, and my own Ukrainian heritage that I was honored to partner with the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America for this powerful conversation in the tradition of my “Story Stop Tour” programs. Watch to learn. Watch to be inspired. Watch to think a bit more about a people who need our attention right now.
