For me, writing is like breathing

I’m the author of 22 nonfiction books, including several business histories produced by CorporateHistory.net LLC, the company I founded and led for 18 wonderful years. After selling it in 2022, I continue to write and edit independently. My work encompasses poetry, plays, essays, the award-winning Perilous Journey of the Donner Party, and a related presentation available by Zoom to schools, museums, and libraries. To share my passion for writing and to pay it forward, I lead creative writing workshops as an affiliate of Amherst Writers & Artists.
