Passionate and opinionated columnist, editor and fiction writer. Enthusiastic mom to boys ages 4 and 6, and passionate and opinionated wife. (Wait, did I say that already?)
In my previous life, I worked long (oh, so very long) hours in a corporate capacity, heading up the marketing department of one of the nation’s biggest real estate companies. As interesting as I found my work, it couldn’t stop the stories from begging to be written, so I traded sensible pumps for the comforts of the creative life. My novel WIP is RADIO HEAD. Learn more about it here.
Thankfully, the publishing world is filled with wickedly funny, curiously elegant, and motivating people, and I’ve had the good fortune of being published in countless magazines and websites, primarily focusing on non-fiction feature articles exploring family issues, eco-friendly living solutions, and food and nutrition.
My award winning culinary column has appeared in several channels including a celebrity cookbook, and I’ve contributed a regularly featured first-person vignette on fostering meaningful family life. My former parenting blog became such a hot topic, I did a few TV appearances. (Hi mom!)
The corporate world didn’t lose me forever; I’ve maintained one polished heel in the door as managing editor for both consumer and trade publications.
If you’ve found my blog, I’ll wager you love to talk about the writing craft, publishing, marketing books, and keeping your sanity through revisions as much as I do. Here you’ll find guest writers giving sage advice, we’ll study the art of writing (diligently and in earnest; lit agents might be watching,) and hopefully you’ll share your own ideas, anecdotes from your writing journey and the joy of the written word with me.
