I’m glad you decided to visit my web site. Here you can view a wide range of my writing samples. I’m a Colorado-based freelance writer specializing in travel, health, food and consumer issues, as well as the juvenile market. In fact there are few topics I won’t tackle.
I am always on the lookout for new outlets and know you will find me to be reliable, accurate and deadline conscious. Plus editors soon discover that I’m the person to call when they are in a bind.
My latest venture is MileHighOnTheCheap, a website devoted to deals, bargains and freebies in the metro Denver area. The site is an official member of the Cities On The Cheap network and was named “Best Website for Cheapskates 2010″ by Westword magazine, Denver’s alternative weekly.
In December/January you’ll find my stories in AARP The Magazine (Fed Up With Fees, Dollar Stores add Up and Old Meets New), AAA World (The Deep End), Dallas Morning News (Sees Thrills, Or Just Chill), Consumer Reports Money Adviser (When Did Charities Get So Picky?) and AAA Traveler (Kick Back & Relax). My article Decoding The Alphabet Soup published in the Dallas Morning News won a Gold Award in the 2010 SATW Foundation Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition.
While I hope you will peruse my writing samples section, you are also welcome to read some of my work posted online (either online versions of print stories or online-only articles). These include Actress Catherine Russell Takes Center Stage as Theater Builder (AARP Bulletin Today, January 1, 2011), Old Styles — They’re Back! (AARP Magazine, November 2010), Firebaugh Triumphs at AARP Spelling Bee (AARP Bulletin Today, June 20, 2010), Conventional Wisdom (Global Traveler, April 2008), Courting Veterans Voices (AARP.org, November 2008).
As a professional, full-time journalist I hold membership in the American Society of Journalists and Authors, Society of American Travel Writers and the Denver Woman’s Press Club.
