A professional writer for almost 30 years, I have penned everything from newspaper articles and blog content to restaurant menus, from novels to a press release for Clown College.
My wide and varied experience includes such topics as corporate communications, the arts, paint and coatings, real estate, the fire service, grammar, writing and literature, research, book reviews, and publishing. An award-winning journalist, my work has appeared in several magazines, newspapers, and blogs, including the Chicago Tribune, Writer Unboxed, Women's Fiction Writers, Naperville Magazine, and Fresh Fiction.
I also spent more than 10 years editing magazines, as well as with working with freelance clients, including the National Safety Council, Leyden Township, and several small start-ups.
After my second son was born, I took some time off to be a stay-at-home mother, during which I ended up writing three novels, a short story, and some flash fiction.
