Freelance Writing
I’ve been writing professionally for more than 25 years. My freelance work has appeared in the Washington Post and the Whole Dog Journal, which was ranked #11 of the best 50 magazines in the country by the Chicago Tribune.
Most of my professional writing these days is for the blog on this site. When I was doing more freelance work, I particularly enjoyed writing about companion animals, holistic and alternative care, coaching and self-development, environmental/green issues and travel.
Then there’s that unpublished novel and a half in my desk drawer.
