I’ve been a professional freelance writer since 1984. I began writing feature articles for newspapers, such as the “Ann Arbor News,” and for magazines, such as Working Mother, Kiwanis, The Rotarian, Christian Parenting Today, St. Anthony Messenger, and Nation’s Business. I was a contributing editor for Grand Rapids Magazine, and its sister publications, GR Parent and The Grand Rapids Business Journal for over 10 years.
I authored one book, Young Widow, which was published by Zondervan, a division of Harper Collins. I’ve also contributed to several others.
