Overview
Under my byline, I have written non-fiction as well as fiction titles for a list of publishers that include St. Martin's Press, Lyons Press, and Triumph Books. I have worked as a staff writer for newspapers and I have written many freelance articles for magazines and websites. As a ghostwriter, I’ve written titles that include memoirs and autobiographies. In addition to having years of writing experience, I am a seasoned interviewer, which I believe is invaluable in drawing out the rich anecdotes that make up the fiber of any story.
