: About Me

I have always had a passion for reading...the writing part came when my father found an old copy of Writer's Digest with Kurt Vonnegut on the cover. I was twelve when he said, "You can do this too, you read enough to know what a good book should have." I thought he was crazy, no one in our family was a writer, they were painters and sketch artists, not writers... and besides, no one in our family made a living at being an artist-so how could I?

I ended up being a closet writer for years, but being a closet writer doesn't get you published.  Does writing/drafting contracts count as writitng? 

So far, I have sold articles, written real estate brochures and marketing pieces, entered some writing contests, submitted short stories, and am currently rewriting a novel.

I am available to write articles for real estate, legal, health, politics, economics, economics and the environment, step-parenting, and more.

My dog is mad at me. Why? Well, I am not a dog whisperer by any means, but I do believe it has something to do with her walk...I cut it short. Everyday we go for a walk. It begins way before we leave the house. She wakes me up at 4:30am, everyday like clockwork, to feed her. She then proceeds to venture through the house burping and making sounds only a man would make. Then, well then, she lays down exhausted from inhaling her morning grub. At 6:00am she is ready. She has rested long enough and is now ready for two things to occur, well actually three things. "#1" and "#2" are obvious, but...
