I am the creator of penpublishpromote Manuscript Editing Service. Besides editing manuscripts I mentor clients through the writing and publishing process. Recently I edited Model Behavior by Naima Mora (America's Next Top Model season 4) out now on iTunes and in print with all major book sellers. I am also a feature writer for The Possibility Place, owned by Possibility Media Group, where I was senior editor and contributor until starting my own editorial service. In my recent past I was Academic Program Chair for a private design college where I taught English, receiving outstanding instructor awards throughout my tenure. While at the college I wrote for the nationally distributed design magazine ARTISTIK. My short fiction is published in 8 anthologies and I have been honored with 4 of those published pieces winning awards. My short story collection Fractured Hearts will be published this fall, my novel Benjamin is out now on Amazon. My second novel is being released in early 2014. All of my fiction is through Winter Goose Publishing. I enjoy being a Pacific NW Writer's Association reader-judge for their annual literary contest. For education I hold a BFA from University of Oregon, and MAT from Pacific University.

Debut novel Benjamin -out now on Amazon and with all major book sellers.
