Professional Experience

Author, freelancer, screenwriter. In reporting, real estate, education, consumer electronics, parenting, autism spectrum disorders and entertainment are all part of my "beat." A full-time freelancer, I've worked in newspapers, magazines, online and in print, have been an interviewer and film/book/video reviewer, and have 10 novels and two non-fiction books published. I've ghostwritten non-fiction books (seven, so far) on business, etiquette (no, really!), marketing and the Internet. Able to write on everything from real estate to making great home movies, and lawn tips from the head groundskeeper at Yankee Stadium. Give me an idea, and I'll give you a great article!
