WelcomeI've been a professional writer for over 20 years. It's what I love. Writing is teaching, exploring, communicating; it's helping in some way, whether by introducing ideas, entertaining, or teaching new skills which enable the reader to better his or her life. And as such, it's been a gratifying career.
I've been fortunate to have a career as a Technical Writer, Book Designer, and Instructional Designer for Microsoft, Aldus, Adobe, Macromedia, and others. In the course of my career, I've designed books, web sites, newsletters, advertisements, postcards, and an art gallery. I've won awards for my work from the Society for Technical Communicators (STC), and have placed in the occasional literary contest.
Closest to my heart, however, is the creative work that I've written for myself, to document my spiritual path. In many ways my greatest love is poetry -- poetry is writing compressed and fermented. Through the careful choice and placement of words, in a short space one can create (or recreate) an experience that is profound and emotionally moving, insightful and enlightening, funny and enjoyable.
Although my technical writing and content writing projects have kept me very busy, I've published several poems in anthologies, magazines, and internet journals. I've also ghost-written several magazine articles for others in local or national magazines. I've also completed some longer works (fiction and scripts) and will be submitting them for publication.
