I was a Social Worker for eleven (11) years, working as a child abuse investigator in a metropolitan area; with parents of disabled children; and with the relatives of the elderly and those in long term nursing facilities. A keen observer of humanity, I understand people - and I can write about virtually anything. I have written two 500+ page novels, eleven novellas, two biographies, nationally and internationally awarded essays, countless short stories (several of which have won recognition) and many articles. Please see my Profile for experience, Freelancer reviews, and a few writing samples. I'm an exceptionally good researcher and a superb writer - or so I am told by my satisfied clients. I always present information in an intriguing manner that captures and keeps the reader's attention, while delivering content that is entertaining or helpful, edifying and interesting. Extensive travel, life experience and knowledge of a number of diverse topics, plus a natural curiosity about our world and the people who inhabit it, imparts depth and enthusiasm to my work. I think 'out-of-the-box' and present material from a perspective that is refreshingly out-of-the-ordinary - unless, of course, the ordinary is what's required. I'm highly productive and my turn-around time is rapid, though varying by assignment and speed of communications. I communicate clearly and frequently to determine requirements and check expectations, and ask the same for your instructions and feedback.
