Creator of Hillsborough Writers Group
Okay. So. Let’s start with who I am NOT. I am not a whiz at website building, so please forgive any snafus. They are, without a doubt, my fault. I’ve been writing for forever—mostly women-centered fiction. You can read more about that below in my bio. I am an enthusiastic needlepointer, watcher of college baseball and football (SEC, baby!), mom of two teenage boys, and a wife of an engineer … something to do with process control systems.
I am also a FREELANCE EDITOR. If you’re interested in editing services or beta reading, give me a shout! I run my services through UPWORK. If that doesn’t work for you, we can discuss.
