My best story ideas and characters seem to come to me at 4 a.m. when they roar into my head with great clarity.  That's when I usually grab my phone to note the idea, plot, or character before it escapes my brain.

My writing is often influenced by the real-life characters I met during my 20 years as an Emmy award-winning TV journalist and also during my concurrent 20 years in the U.S. Army with deployments to Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and other military adventures.  Like many other writers, my dysfunctional childhood definitely rears its ugly head from time to time.

I'm drawn to write modern-day thrillers, dramas, and comedies with twists and turns.  I also enjoy writing stage plays. Proud that my first full-length stage play, Love In Reserve, was named a national semi-finalist by Arts in the Armed Forces and will be performed as a main stage production in Akron, OH in 2021. 

Let's get creative!
