About Me

I'm a full-time freelance writer for a wide variety of trade and consumer magazines. I'm also shopping around my first novel trying to land a literary agent.

The deadly combination means I'm a borderline hermit with no social graces, who spends disproportionate chunks of the day holed up in a dark room writing for paltry sums of money.

So far the magazines I've worked for include Alaska Airlines Magazine, Electronic House Magazine, Inkwell Newswatch, Interface Tech News, Towing and Recovery Footnotes, MaineBiz, NewsFactor Network, and Timberline Magazine.

On the side I'm contributing to the launch of Blast Magazine , an online culture and technology publication.

UPDATE: I recently made some headway on the novel front and bamboozled my way into a fully paid scholarship to attend the 2007 Backspace Writers Conference in NYC, which took place in May.
