Professional Experience

Great writing is a must in your business. But do you have great writing that reflects your voice and mission, and strategically focuses on your goals? That's what I provide. As a ghostwriter, editor and writer, I've created, or helped create, books, articles, white papers, proposals, blogs, and marketing materials for Cisco, O'Reilly media, marketing/PR firms, and a many entrepreneurs and authors. I'm especially interested in Internet technology, smart cities and global finance trends, but I've written a great deal about Italian food and healthy weight maintenance, too. Not to mention a thriller novel or two.

Last Sighting
(Robert Abel, M.D. 9/9/2011)
I have edited this thriller for a noted ophthalmologist. In 'Last Sighting', heroine Lauren Chandler, eye doctor and researcher, is working to develop a medical device that may resolve the mystery of how and where the brain interprets information transmitted from the eye. Chandler isn't allowed to work in peace, however; her breakthrough also pulls her into a complex plot that stretches into corporate America and the national security complex.
