Welcome to my world. I am building my written works that include a vast array of creativity based in reality and beyond. I have written in various genres and styles since I was a child. My myriad of works include short stories, poems, novels, and even a musical. I am currently working on "The Edge of Time", a novel about coming of age and time travel. I have completed the first book in my life journey memoir series, "Life's a Concert: how I found me, danced through personal armageddons, and ate buttered popcorn along the way," and am currently seeking publication options. My more than twenty-five years of writing experience ranges from business and academic communications to the twice a semester marketing association publication I edited and wrote for while at Northern Illinois University. I have been published in COD's Prairie Light Review multiple times, had a science fiction column, and speak about identity to a wide variety of audiences. I freelance as a ghost writer, maintain an academic blog devoted to social justice, and teach college students how to write about Sociology.
