I am a writer of non-fiction , fiction ,mysteries comedies and sci-fi, horror I also write opinion pieces around education and juvenile justice which have been published in numerous magazines including progressive and the Atlantic.
I spent the last 20 years working in nonprofit industrial complex as an advocate organizer ,campaign manager ,multimedia director and executive director.
Which is why I write non-fiction ,science-fiction mysteries horror and comedy because that’s what you live in a nonprofit industrial complex, they say write from your experience in outlook on society.
