I've published articles in national magazines, Entrepreneur, New Business Opportunity along with others. I participated in an advertising campaign for Toyota where I wrote human interest stories about the top Toyota dealers in the country. I had around one hundred of the stories published in People magazine. Profile pieces remain some of my favorite assignments. I've also been published in several anthologies including Sword and Sorceress-edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley-Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul, Voices From the Heartland, and Shades of Tulsa. I'm past president of the Tulsa Nightwriters and current vice president elect. The Tulsa Nightwriters are one of the largest writers group in Oklahoma. I'm proud to be associated with so many accomplished authors.
