why IS getting it down on paper so hard?

I've learned over 30+ years that it's because you too often don't get the support you need, right when you need it.

The result:
  • you don't know where or how to start,
  • you get bogged down half-way through, or
  • you spend precious time trying to do it all yourself, when that's not what you're trained to do.

​I want to save you that time and money.

I can give you the specific, uniquely targeted expertise you need--at any stage in the process, and on any page, from outline to finished draft.

You will learn how to
  • figure out your unique and powerful narrative,
  • make sure it's structured correctly, and
  • get unstuck quickly and painlessly.

I can also do every bit of the writing for you.

recent work

Now available: Over There in the Air: The Fightin' Texas Aggies in World War I, 1917-1918, by John A. Adams, for which I provided initial copyediting.

From the Texas A&M Press website: "Over There in the Air tells the little-known story of the contribution of Texas A&M University to early aviation in World War I.

​Over two thousand students served in the war in one capacity or another, and of those about 250 were involved in the newest martial development—military aviation."
Had a fabulous time at the 2019 Bouchercon World Mystery Convention, where my story "Resuscitation" was a finalist for the Bill Crider Prize for Short Fiction.
