Background: My career is in news media relations

and public speaking.

I studied psychology / communications emphasis at Shoreline Community College and then transferred to the UW.

My first ‘promotions’ job was as a Weyerhaeuser Company media contact with a temporary assignment in Washington D.C. in 1980 during the Reagan transition.

I was just in from D.C. and was back at corporate headquarters in the media relations department when Mt. St. Helen’s ‘blew’. And on the communications team when one of our employees was taken hostage in a foreign country. I worked in the Corporate Information Media Relations department at Weyerhaeuser's corporate headquarters for 12 years.

After the timber shortfall flattened that industry, I was hired by the University of Washington – same drill. As Public Information Officer / upper campus/ my assignment was overseeing the university's compliance to the public disclosure laws of Washington State and  responding to news media requests for documents.

Boutique Publishing

After my semi-retirement, I opened a boutique publishing house in Edmonds, WA. Two of my own (Amazon) best sellers and three client best sellers – based on the opportunities of eCommerce and global marketing, taught me how much time, effort, and expertise it takes to grab a best seller (70-hour weeks, until the Tipping Point is realized).

Soon, I was hired by the Edmonds' arts commission to teach 'internet marketing-success' to attendees of the city’s writer’s conference;. I was also hired by a workshop firm ( same topic) for a workshop series at Edmonds Community College.

Then, an opportunity to be Edmonds’ arts columnist came up, and from 2013-2017 I wrote over 500 weekly columns for Edmonds' leading news outlet, My Edmonds News. Many of those columns were shout outs for local bands.

Indie Publishing

I chose the indie-path as an author in 2009 and have been rewarded with one 50-week Amazon best-seller run, and two NaNoWritMo global writing contest wins.

As 2023 begins I am drafting out my 5th novel. I hope that you will check in as this WIP develops and as I decide whether to seek agency representation -- every writer's dream that only about 3% of authors actually attain.

Music! 

There are many community-involved and professional musicians in our family; active nationally and internationally -- whose interest lies in classical music to rap and rock.

I'm happy you took a moment to stop by my website ~ Your insights, and perspectives are welcomed.
