: About Me

I was always the kid with his nose stuck far into a book, the one in english class who had the reading done when the teacher assigned it and the one in college who did all the editing for the creative writing and english classes.

As a beginning freelance author, I hope to jumpstart my career by creating a portfolio through helium. Though this field is not an easy one to get into, I believe that my education and experience as a paralegal will benfit my writing skills.

I hope to someday have an article published in an established magazine such as Time. I am currently attempting my first political thriller novel. I enjoy reading such authors as Terry goodkind, John Grisham, Clive Cussler and too many others to list. I am a firm supporter of family, education and the arts.

I am always open to suggestions on my own writing and would enjoy editing Helium members submissions as my schedule allows. Thanks for visiting and enjoy my work.

It is for these same reasons that educators work with parents to create a successful education program. The way education continuously changes and evolves makes it very difficult for someone not in the educational field to keep up. While it is essential for a parent to be part of their child's education, it does not mean in this case a parent knows best. With a forty hour or more work week and running a household, parents are pulled in many directions. Dinners to be ...
