Overview
I've developed commercial and literary fiction; narrative nonfic; health & wellness; mind, body, spirit; pop culture; and lifestyle titles. For me, a carefully, well-crafted narrative is as important as a gripping, memorable plot.
I respect how hard authors work and admire anyone who creates literature for others to learn from and enjoy. It's a real pleasure to assist in this process.
