The world is an interesting place, always changing, evolving and surprising me with its richness and
opportunities; its familiarity and its strangeness. I am a writer. I’ve been doing it for years, sometimes formally, sometimes not, but always enjoying the process of putting words together to tell a story and to share information.

In my previous lives -- in the career aspect, not in the Shirley MacLaine kind of way -- I've been an event planner, a marketing manager, a communications director, a radio talk show host, a voice-over artist, a TV production assistant, an advertising account manager, a public relations specialist, an advertising sales rep ... whew! Let's just say I've enjoyed a very fruitful and exciting career in marketing communications. However, writing has always been my passion.

These days, you'll find me here and there, always with my computer (or at least a note pad) in tow. I could be writing an assignment from the snowy ski slopes of Colorado, or the dusty trails that surround the Pyramids in Egypt. Your project could be written from a cozy cabana in Bermuda, the beaches of San Juan, a restaurant in Rio or a speeding train traveling through the South of France. No matter where I am, I'll be writing ... hopefully, a project for YOU!

Freelance Articles
Every writer I know has trouble writing.  ~Joseph Heller

My passion is writing for publications. Travel & leisure, historical travel, business profiles, lifestyle trends and women's issues are my areas of specialty. Every experience is the seed of a good story. I write about experiences I’ve had, places I’ve visited, people I’ve met and issues of importance to others. I can’t write about it if I haven’t done it, seen it, been there or done the research. That’s authenticity, and that’s what I bring to each of my stories. Life is exciting, shocking and full of change, and it should be written about. That’s what I do. I am a writer.




Corporate Communications and Messaging
Easy reading is damn hard writing.   ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

My writing for corporations and nonprofit organizations spans the gamut from simple brochures to video scripts, ad copy, speeches, proposals, Web copy, annual reports and even editing and proofreading what others have written. I have over 20 years of experience writing for business in the capacity of marketing, public relations and corporate communications. I've been on the management team, have sat in the board room, met with the decision makers and worked one-on-one with the people who can make or break a corporation. In business, there's no room for fluff or spin. It is the facts, the differentiation, the sales points and the benefits that hook the audience. The challenge of blending the right message into a production that can yield results drives me to create top quality communications for my clients. That's what I do. I am a writer.

Novels
I want to write books that unlock the traffic jam
in everybody's head.
  ~John Updike


My novels are born of the painful labor of allowing the emotions and realities of life to geyser into a tale so familiar that readers wonder how I was able to “read their personal mail.” But writing, in this regard, is the easy part. Getting published ... that's another animal altogether! Stay tuned for my latest novel, "What Goes Around Comes Around," coming to a bookstore near you in 2010!
