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 blog-style 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.

In January/February you'll find my stories in AARP The Magazine (Staycation? Forget 'Em It's Time to Leave Home, Good-Value Getaways, Surfing for Savings & Dance Your Way to Weight Loss), AAA World Online (Floating On Air), and Dallas Morning News (When Traveling Overseas, is Extra Medical Insurance a Good Idea?).  My piece Blast From The Past for AAA World Online just won a Bronze Award in the 2009 Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition. A copy is posted in my writing samples section.

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 Picture of the Woodstock Generation (AARP Bulletin Today, August 10, 2009), A Home Inventory Can Save You From Insurance Headaches (AARP Bulletin Today, June 8, 2009), Saying I Do in the Caribbean (USA Weekend, March 15, 2009), Conventional Wisdom (Global Traveler, April 2008), Courting Veterans Voices (AARP.org, November 2008) & In Pets We Trust (AARP.org, June 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.
