My career has focused on communications: writer, editor, press secretary, communications director and publications designer. In addition to being self-employed for 24 years, I spent eight years on Capital Hill serving two U.S. Congressmen, two years in President Gerald Ford’s administration, and eight years with two non-profit organizations. I am the author of Nick & Sadie that was published in 2009.

Nick & Sadie
Nick and Sadie seem to live rather ordinary lives ... but yet, there is something special about them. After all, he does look like Santa Claus; she is a loving and caring person admired by everyone; and children are naturally drawn to them. They bring out the best in everyone they meet. Three years ago they moved to North Carolina so they could live near children and their families. Their new life is everything they expected. Nick is a substitute teacher at the neighborhood elementary school, and Sadie creates wonderful candy recipes for a candy manufacturer. Their dilemma is to remain true to themselves without anyone discovering their secret. Everything appears to be going well until Sadie receives an offer from her employer, Nick is nominated for a teaching award, and one of Nick’s students insists that he is someone else. "Nick & Sadie" is a heartwarming Christmas story about respect, integrity and love.

Biographical Information

Jefferson's Masterpiece
I am working a historically-based book for children that will tell the story of Thomas Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence. The book will be divided into two sections. The first section will weave historical information and fiction together to create a story that I hope will entertain and teach nine to twelve-year-old children about the Declaration of Independence. The second section will contain additional information about the people and events surrounding this momentous event.
