Introduction

I am a published writer with essays and articles appearing nationally in The Christian Science Monitor and The Hollywood Reporter and in regional publications in Louisiana, where I am originally from, and in North Carolina where I now live.

My novella, Liza's World, is published on Amazon and in Goodreads. My first children's book, Patches, the Cow Dog, is currently published on Amazon and my second, Angelo's Ears, is in the manuscript submission stage. (Please see my Books page for more information.) 

I have tutored writing for the GED, and tutored for ESL and Adult Literacy. I have also done memoir writing and editing work as well as copywriting for businesses. Please see my cv for more details.
