I have honed my writing, layout, and design skills by volunteering my abilities. For family, friends, and small businesses, I have designed simple but professional-looking web sites and wrote the copy for each. I have designed paper and digital brochures and writing copy for them as well.
Although I enjoy writing fiction more than other forms of writing, I also write non-fiction. My photographs, short fiction and feature articles have been published in newspapers, magazines, newsletters and city reports. My movie reviews have been published in a monthly newsletter.
I know my way around a darkroom in color or black and white so I develop and print my own photographs.
I have an AS in Journalism Arts Technology. I am listed in the Marquis Who's Who, I have been honored by the World Of Poetry Society with their Golden Poet award, and my song lyrics have won awards from the Music City Song Festival.
