I am a student of human nature, a corporate communications writer (toiling for almost twenty years in the marketing mines), a published author (Longstreet Press, The Cowboy Way), and winner of the Georgia Press Association for 2019 and 2020 Lifestyle/Feature Columnist of the Year. For the past sixteen years, I have written a weekly Southern lifestyle column in the “TIMES-GEORGIAN” and have been a contributing commentator on Georgia Public Broadcasting’s “Georgia Gazette.” Currently, I’m shopping my debut novel, To Catch Lightning in a Bottle.
I studied applied voice and music at Columbus State University for three years, until an international modeling contract sent me to Paris and Japan, pushing my education in a different direction. That’s when I began screenwriting. Shotokan Man (distributed on Amazon Prime by FilmWorks) is my first produced screenplay – a “Double-fisted, southern-fried, multi-cultural love story.”
