"THIS IS THE KIND OF BOOK ONE BUYS AND KEEPS FOREVER."Author Ann GarvinRichard Adams Carey, author of The Philosopher Fish and In the Evil Day, calls The Promise of Water, "As graceful as it is powerful — a bracing and heart-breaking plunge into the mystery of identity, the boundlessness of love." Ann Garvin, author of The Dog Year and On Maggie's Watch, says The Promise of Water is, “a perfectly drawn ode to grief, desire, and the profound impact we humans make on each other, in both positive and negative. There are no missed steps here; this is the kind of book one buys and keeps forever."Winner of the Caledonia Novel Award and Runner-Up in the Whidbey Writers Emerging Writers Contest by the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts, The Promise of Water is a novel about the quest for identity. California ad executive Nate Bishop thinks that a failed relationship and a career on the brink of disaster are his biggest problems -- until his twin sister, Nora, and her boat go missing on Lake Superior. When he returns home, Nate discovers that searching for Nora means coming face to face with a dark secret from their past and finding himself.The Promise of Water is represented by Elizabeth Copps. The novel also was named a finalist in The Great Novel Contest by the Columbus Creative Co-op and a semi-finalist in the Faulkner-Wisdom Creative Writing Competition.

Do you have a child that loves to write? Or one that would like to gain more confidence in his or her writing? My after-school writing workshops are designed help eager writers blossom and reluctant writers find their voices. In my writing workshops, participants can relax, brainstorm, experiment with writing exercises, laugh, and freely write in the genres they wish.Kids and teens enjoy individual attention, fun writing games, customized feedback, and, best of all, the satisfaction of completing a wonderful original piece.Workshops are available to all young writers, grades 3-12, and to college students. I also offer professional mentoring for aspiring storytellers who are working and either want to hone their creative writing craft or develop storytelling and speechwriting skills to support their work within their professional industry.

I believe in storytelling. The more authentic, the better. To learn what your organization is all about, I go straight to the people living your brand promise. And then, I write. Web and magazine features. Online content. Collateral. Speeches. Campaigns. Ads. Brand Positioning.As a partner to ad agencies, universities, and businesses large and small, I’ll help you tap into your authentic brand messaging. Together, we'll share your story in a variety of compelling ways and across communication channels. With every piece, I seek to elicit an emotional connection grounded by a thoughtful messaging strategy. No strategy? No problem. Let's develop one together.You should also know that I love collaborating with creatives - web programmers, designers, photographers, events planners, creative directors - and I've got a talented and seasoned team at the ready.My experience includes the breadth and depth that comes with twenty years as a communication professional. A few highlights: I launched Jane Seymour's private home collection, served as a speechwriter for top leaders of a large public university, developed the theme and all communications for a fundraising campaign that secured more than $115 million, and helped lead an integrated marketing and strategic communication effort across an organization.The bottom line is this stuff is fun. I love to write. I'm passionate about stories -- and I want to share yours.

For more than a decade, I developed the voice of UNCG, a large public university in Greensboro, North Carolina, where I crafted authentic stories about inspiring students and the people who are the fabric of my community. My work was honored by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the International Academy of Visual Arts (Communicator Award of Distinction).While at UNCG, I helped lead a strategic communication initiative across campus in which I provided training around UNCG's brand messaging with the goal of ensuring that as many communications as possible share the university's unifying narrative - Do something bigger altogether. My experience includes developing collateral, ads, direct mail, web content, scripts and professional correspondence to address alumni, corporate partners and donors and prospective students. For many years, I served as the chancellor’s lead speechwriter for events on and off campus, including capital campaign solicitations, alumni networking and university milestones. In addition, I helped develop and write ad campaigns placed in Time, Sports Illustrated, Newsweek, US News & World Report among others. I also wrote all communications for six-year capital campaign – case statements, features, newsletters, etc. Successes included exceeding campaign goal by $30m and establishing 245 new scholarships.AWARDSInternational Academy of Visual Arts, Strategic Marketing & Communication Brand Guide: Communicator Award 2013 CASE, Brand Image Advertising Series: Honorable Mention 2008CASE, Ad Series Campaign: Bronze 2016
