What I did before writing
For 30 years I worked in museums - putting together events, creating exhibits, and doing historical research. I honed my writing skills through these years by writing newsletters, articles, text labels, and press releases. Additionally, I marched in drum corps, played an extra in the film, "Last of the Mohicans," and owned and operated a historically accurate pirate ship attraction. I enjoy participating in the Star Wars 501st Legion cosplay group.
