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

I have done editing and proofreading work, as well as memoir work, copywriting and product descriptions for businesses. I have also been greatly rewarded in tutoring for Adult Literacy, ESL and the GED. Please see my cv for more details.
