I began practicing the art of wordscribing from the time I could first read and write; putting together books and writing poems.  My entire family encouraged me to write, but it was my father and grandfather, both of whom wrote that were key in my love of literature.    While my personal interests and creative side demanded that I find an outlet for my writing, the reality of life and a business career keep me focused on operational aspects of business in technical fields. I was fortunate that I found a creative outlet for some of my writing by supporting business writing needs.  These projects started with company newsletters then progressed to copy writing and article publication as a small part of my career.  I even managed to sneak a few original poems into the mix.   As a versatile wordscriber, I have seen my business writing in broad distribution print media for the past twenty-five years. Publications have included nationally distributed catalogs, newspapers and magazine articles.  I have published Wine and Sweet Words and have two other books on wine ready to release this year.
