OTHER WRITING
My first published* work was an illustrated short story called The Cat, about (yes) a cat — a frisky gray fellow who preferred corn, peas, and beans to basic kibble. The experience launched a lifetime of writing and eventually editing in the fields of journalism, corporate communication, and marketing communication (see clips below). I'm also writing short and full-length works in the mystery/suspense and women’s fiction genres.

*By published, I mean "laminated by my first-grade teacher."
The Second Chance Romance Club features my short story, "Waiting for that Feeling," a fun read involving canceled flights, hot flashes, and risk management.
Some love stories burn bright and never fade—others are lost to time, mistakes, and missed moments… until fate offers a second chance. In The Second Chance Romance Club, love finds its way back through time, trials, and unexpected twists of fate. This heartwarming anthology brings together tales of rekindled romance, redemption, and the kind of love that refuses to be forgotten. From swoon-worthy historical romances to laugh-out-loud rom-coms, from high-stakes romantic suspense to the coziest of small-town love stories, these pages are filled with irresistible reunions, long-lost lovers, and love that gets better the second time around.

Clients contract with me to write the articles they pitch to publications. I conduct research, interview sources, and write the piece. In this example for a trade magazine, I highlighted the strategies independent businesses are using to compete with big-box retailers.
