My life's journey has taken me from the streets of Park Avenue to the windswept hillsides of the High Arctic. Along the way I've learned that writing is as much about relationships as anything else.
Of course you want an accomplished professional to craft the mosaic of your life into words. In me, you get a six-time best-selling author who has been writing for more than 30 years.
But writing a biography is much more than just putting words on a page. Throughout the process, your co-author will become your guide and confidant, perhaps even your friend.
I pride myself on my ability to make the book-writing process productive, fruitful, and enjoyable.

That's when I realized how important is it to preserve the stories our children and grandchildren will want to hear long after we're gone.
