I have been a professional writer since 1987. I've written for newspapers, magazines, worked in the book publishing industry, and published novels and non-fiction books. In addition, I've guided numerous authors through the process of independent publishing, and offer workshops in that same vein. I'm the founder of the Parkinson's Comfort Project and over the course of six years, we gathered and gave away over 500 handmade quilts to people with Parkinson's disease.

And as you go forward in your day, think about these words spoken by a protestor in Minneapolis: “We’re all looking each other in the eyes. It’s personal, it’s deeply personal.”
