As a full-time freelance writer with a lifetime involvement in animal and environmental
issues my work often profiles ‘out of the mainstream’ subjects whose lifestyles or actions enhance relationships
with the natural world or minimize negative impacts.
I’m a contributor to Driving Digest, Carriage Driving
Magazine (UK), Back Home, Harrowsmith Country Life, American Small Farm, Draft Horse Journal, Mother Earth News, Rural Heritage
Magazine, Small Farmer’s Journal, The Chronicle of the Horse, E-Magazine, Country Living, Wildlife Watch Binocular,
Heavy Horse World (UK), Farm & Dairy, Ohio Farmer, Farm Times, Sawmill & Woodlot, Birds & Blooms, Persimmon Hill,
New Mexico, Enchantment and others.
My work has also been published in Country Journal, Action Line Magazine, Das
Zugpferd (GR), Corriente Corresponder, The Old Farmer’s Almanac, The Sun, Country Traveler, Ohio’s Amish Country,
Ford Times, The Friendly Exchange, Woods & Water News, Creatures Corner News, Animal People, Veggie Digest, The Woolly
Times, The Cape Breton Connection, Firelands Farmer, The Horseman’s Corral, Bee Culture, Mules & More, Broomtail
(AU) and many other publications.
As She Lay Dying was published in the 2004 Writing the
River Anthology. Here Lies Jack, a short story about a dog that refused to stay buried was awarded 2nd place for prose
in Anthology Magazine.
The Peaceable Kingdom News & Views was an environmental-theme newsletter which I created
and published for two years circulated by subscription only.
I strive for objectivity and to provoke readers to
look at life from different perspectives. One such example done in a point-counterpoint format examined allegations by animal
rights activists against Sea World of Ohio. This and another article were excerpted by Sea World of Ohio for inclusion in
their public relations literature.
My life is shared with 3 dogs, 8 cats, 2 donkeys and a flock of geriatric free-range
chickens. I’m currently at work on a collection of short stories.
