About Us

LIFE-CHANGING EVENTS:  

After losing my only child, my marriage fell apart. My life was shattered. So, at the ripe old age of fifty-one, I decided to retire from my career as a consulting engineer.  

Working in the construction industry for many years, I always wrote technical reports, proposals, and marketing blurbs. It was part of the job. But I also wrote creatively as a hobby, sharing my work with friends and family but never publishing. In 2011, several friends encouraged me to write professionally, and I ended up working on various projects as a freelancer or ghostwriter.

ENGINEER TO WRITER:  

The creative writing work suited me. I enjoyed it immensely and completed numerous projects involving novels, novellas, marketing brochures, PowerPoint presentations, resumes, website content, blogs, articles, and even an unusual screenplay. These experiences reinforced my love of writing, and I transitioned to it as a full-time, second career.  

Over the years since then, my completed projects have included hundreds of smaller pieces like blog entries and articles. The more significant works include dozens of novels (e.g., two cozy mystery series) and multiple screenplays. I even started to edit videos, and that grew into another way to tell stories visually.

I work seven days a week from my Conway, SC home office (just outside of Myrtle Beach). In my rare free time, I read whenever I can and love to cook, brew beer, and woodwork. And sometimes, on the rare occasion, I will watch a movie or TV show - to analyze and learn from the writing, of course!
