Background
Information
|
|
My passion has always been writing with a satirical slant about my world--the workplace, traveling, and being single. After several years as a freelance writer working at home, I learned How to Work Like a CAT and put my strategy into a book publised by Willow Creek Press.
My columns regularly appear in Office Solutions, Credit Union Business, and Practice Manager magazines. The writers I've loved over the years who all helped me hone my style are a motley group: Louisa May Alcott, W. Somerset Maugham, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Art Buckwald, Dave Barry, and most recently, Christopher Buckley and Anthony Bourdain.
