Welcome. Thank you for stopping by.
Books are such a joy in life--the feel of them, the smell, the new worlds they open for me. I believe in the magic of storytelling. No matter my circumstances, I can open a book and find love, laughter, and a light to guide my way.
I'm a novelist, short story writer, and I also write features and restaurant reviews for my Southern California newspaper. I teach novel writing and edit manuscripts on a freelance basis. I've completed the novel classes at The University of Iowa's summer writing festival, and am Brainbench certified in Written English. I belonged to an international critiquing group and have edited for a small publisher.
Please feel free to explore the Books & Articles I've written, and if you need help with your manuscript, check out the Different Types of Editing I offer. Maybe you'd like to listen to my Interview with Don McCauley of The Authors Show.
