I began publishing what I wrote as a novice reporter at 16 for my high school newspaper "The Static". The following school year I was Assistant Editor then in my senior year I was the monthly paper's Editor.

From then on I never stopped writing - moving to a regular column in a weekly community newspaper then features and columns in large city daily newspapers and then expanding to regular magazine features and columns.

With plot ideas and research literally 'piling' up, I left journalism for fiction in 2006 then ePublished my first mystery in 2011. Since then I now have 16 titles in print and electronic format for both adult and MG/YA readers... ...more

AND finally - get your writing 'feet-wet' by contributing to a neighborhood or community newsletter they usually have deadlines and someone else sees your writing...(less)
