About Me

I am a freelance writer and sometime stage actor living in Frederick County, Maryland. I have skills and experience in various types of writing, from hard journalism, to reviews, to editorials and blogging. (I have two blogs.) Even some published poetry in a time gone by. But by far I prefer human interest writing. News mixed with personal observation and impressions. This is the sort of work I seek out the most in 2011.

I am also working on a novel, and an overall expansion into fiction writing.

In the end, I am a story teller. Whether through the fiction I am creating, or the features I have put together for magazines and websites, or the opinions I am expressing on issues, I enjoy taking the facts and bundling them into a story which speaks to as many people as possible, in a language that is as simple as it needs to be, but not simpler.
