I run a public relations consulting practice (since 1997), with story placements in national media and a broad range of writing, ghostwriting and editing.

In my literary life, I have written 3 novels and a play (a comedy). My priority is to get an agent for my novel TAKE MY BREATH AWAY, which has now been professionally edited.
