| About My Business After a number of years in advertising and public relations, with a focus on copywriting; seven years of general freelancing; and over five years in marketing with a historic travel destination in central North Carolina, I returned to freelance writing with a focus on travel in June 2004. Travel has long been a passion, but I am also able to bring a variety of experiences in print journalism, public relations and inside the travel industry to the table. I believe I understand well the needs of publications -- no freebies, no biases and an honest approach to text. But I also understand travel and tourism, and the kind of information many travelers seek if they wish to duplicate a travel experience. Since restarting freelancing, I have also written a number of people and place articles that do not necessarily fit the "tourism" framework. In the summer of 2006, I undertook writing my first full-length play script, and have continued to work on scripts long and short since that time. I am in various stages of working to produce or place those scripts. I've also revitalized some older manuscripts and written new material in general fiction, publishing my first two novels in 2011 and 2012. Finally, in the spring of 2009, I took a class in voiceover work -- having done some on a less-professional basis on several occasions in the past -- and in November 2009 completed a recorded set of commercial and narration demos.
