I’m a former reporter and editor, now a freelance writer. During my years in newspapers, I covered many beats, including NASCAR racing for a season, music, food, religion, education, government and crime. I witnessed three executions, covered the longest and most expensive capital murder trial in Indiana history, and covered the case of Green River Killer Gary Ridgway from his arrest to his sentencing.

I’m now writing a series of children’s books, and working on a few other book projects.
