Background
Information
I'm a retired staff development consultant. I did a lot of writing in my professional career including dozens of published articles, a book on holding effective meetings, and stacks and piles of training handouts. After retirement I discovered lifestory writing, my real writing passion. The only thing I like better than writing my own stories is helping other people find and write their own. I teach workshops and do conference sessions on various aspects of writing lifestories, memoir and journaling, and my book, The Heart and Craft of Lifestor Writing, is a leader in the field.
