MY BEST ENDORSEMENT 

​

I began professional writing in 1969 as an advertising assistant, writing copy. Since publishing two poems while in high school, I have published a column, 13 articles, and 4 book reviews in Colorado Springs women’s newspaper Expressions; 225 publications (in the US and Canada) include 6 articles for CIPA newsletters, plus 33 poems. My international twelve-page newsletter Global Citizen 1987-88 earned recognition from Colorado Governor Roy Romer and author Richard Bach. My B.A. well-prepared me for working as a manuscript editor and writer (University of Colorado, 3.5 GPA, 1985). My additional studies include hundreds of writers’ magazines, 75 how-to books, 7 courses in creative writing, numerous college writing courses, and workshops with Hollywood screenwriters. 

​

I have been writing since the age  of twelve, publishing book materials since 1982 and perfect-bound since 2000. My spirituality books and memoirs have received 21 book awards to-date, including 4 First Place and 5 International. Denver's Pathways magazine published 12 chapters from my book The Soul Path, and Denver's Spirit Quest magazine published 6 chapters from my book Wings of Light.
