Professional/Personal Overview
I've written everything from horror stories (my first published short story in a literary journal) to inspirational and metaphysical content for publishing on and off line. I've written tons of ad copy without a byline, of course. I provided daily astrology feeds for a major publishing group for a decade, and continue to offer feeds to other online publishers. My first book Conquer the Cosmos (Penguin/Plume) will be released Feb. 23, 2010. When I'm not busy keeping my daily, weekly and monthly forecasts up to date, I'm working on a new horror story. Scary = good.
