Overview
I have more than 30 years of experience as a book editor and writer in just about every genre, both fiction and non-fiction: in the former from literary fiction, young adult, and mysteries, to romance, horror, and science fiction; in the latter, from politics, history, business, and health/medical, to environmental, sports, indigenous studies, nature, biography/autobiography/memoir, art/architecture, and military. I once worked with the film director Sam Fuller, and I was even involved ... editorially ... with a former Mossad spy! My experience includes various positions from managing editor to publisher at several Canadian book publishers and a stint as publications manager at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto. For the past four years, I've been freelancing as an editor and writer.
