"What, you too? I thought I was the only one." - C.S. Lewis


I am an author, editor and newspaper reporter-correspondent. I have two published novels, several newspaper bylines, and edit for Mountain Valley Publishing, Sinful Moments Press, the HWA Newsletter and the Gila Queen Newsletter, along with manuscript editing for private individuals. If you'd like to "friend" my writing page, click here . I've lived in the midwest all my life, and can't imagine living anyplace where the seasons don't change. I recently relocated from Martinsville, Indiana to Danville, Illinois.
