Virtual Author Visits

Date Published: December 01, 2025

Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) is excited to present Virtual Author Visits in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium. Hear from bestselling authors and thought leaders on a range of topics, from puzzling science to epic fantasy to tips on decluttering homes. Whether you are an avid or occasional reader, there is nothing quite like listening to insightful talks by authors you have read or new ones you are just discovering. You never know what will catch your interest. Attend these events at no cost from the comfort of your home. 

In December, join us on Tue., Dec. 2 at noon for a conversation with debut author and award-winning television producer Sue Hincenbergs to discuss her novel The Retirement Plan. When the only thing standing between three best friends and a sunny beachfront retirement condo are their husbands, what ensues is a diabolical plan to collect on their spouses’ life insurance policies. You won’t want to miss this darkly humorous story, filled with both laugh-out-loud and genuinely tense moments as our headstrong wives pursue their dream retirement at all costs. Register to receive the registration link for the Virtual Author Visit with Sue Hincenbergs.

For the last Virtual Author Visit of December, settle in Tue., Dec. 9 at noon and hear from author and Smithsonian Curator Paula J. Johnson. Delve into the legacy of cooking icon Julia Child in Johnson’s book Julia Child’s Kitchen: The Design, Tools, Stories, and Legacy of an Iconic Space. The book includes interviews with chefs who knew Julia well, commentary on her favorite culinary tools and kitchen gadgets, and a stunning array of photos. Find out how Julia Child continues to influence food today. Register to receive the link for the Virtual Author Visit with Paula J. Johnson.
