I'm an award-winning writer and book author whose specialties include human interest, profiles, disabilities, arts, food and travel. Since 1986, I've published thousands of articles in consumer magazines, major newspapers and trade publications, from Parade and The New York Times to Smithsonian and Southwest Airlines Spirit. I also create content for newsletters, websites and other marketing materials for corporate and non-profit clients, and am a longtime member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors.
