Words, words, words ... Bits of mental flotsam and jetsam caught between the keyboard and the screen ...

I've been writing since I can remember - journals, stories, poems, essays - some of those works have found their way to this screen. Others are waiting for the chance to be revealed.

My writing wanders through a wide range of subjects - environmental, educational, political and travel. Political columns leading up to and in the early days of the Iraq War were picked up by several websites for re-publication.

In 2005, I was honored with a First Place among columnists by the California Newspaper Publishers Association. I also produce, edit and write for a non-profit journal, GC River Runners. I was honored with a Gold Award from the National Resources Defense Council for a book I wrote, photographed and coproducer, called "Elements".


Commercial writing satisfies design clients' needs for websites and marketing brochures. PR writing spreads those words. I'm lucky to have great projects, a vivid imagination, and an insatiable appetite for adventure.

In the works - a memoir chronicling my life sandwiched between two crooks.

Every day a mystery. Every day a gift.

And now .. a new BLOG! Thanks to Coastline Pilot/LA Times, I can chatter each and every day.
