Most of the writing samples displayed here are reference or creative nonfiction. I have written many more business proposals and narratives than presented here. Due to proprietary and confidentiality constraints, I have not posted them here.
My fiction is also not posted here.
Since Sept. 2017, I've contributed as a freelance, part-time staff writer to Grosse Pointe News, covering news in Grosse Pointe Farms and Grosse Pointe Woods. Back in 2001, I contributed to GPN as a full-time staff writer, covering schools and libraries. I have posted here some of the GPN articles with my byline. The rest are archived here: Grosse Pointe News
