Introduction

I write and edit as a freelancer for authors, publishers, and business and nonprofit organizations. I'm also Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Your Information Center, a company that publishes short, practical guides on a variety of subjects.

A graduate of Southwestern University with the degree Bachelor of Arts Magna Cum Laude, I owned and operated an interior landscape business for more than twenty years.

I've always dreamed of writing “someday” — suffering a stroke made me realize that “someday” had arrived. My novel Stroke of Luck is available now, and Dream or Destiny will be published within the next year.

As a freelancer, I work with authors and publishers to prepare manuscripts for publication; write and edit business documents, including proposals, correspondence, Web site copy, news releases, brochures, and manuals; and help families and individuals compile family histories and memoirs.

My husband Jack and I live in San Antonio, and I enjoy volunteering for my church and other organizations.

I share my experiences as a freelancer, offer advice to writers, provide links to resources and interesting articles, and, on occasion, muse randomly at A Writer's Words, An Editor's Eye.
