I've written ad campaigns, articles, book chapters, annual reports, marketing studies, research papers, press releases and poems.  This winter, I'm working on a book about the circumnavigation and adding to my uncompleted doctoral work titled, Women of the Wind.

A quote on the cover of my freshman english textbook forever spliced my relationship to writing directly to communication with others.  It read, "Meanings are in people, not in words,"  S.I. Hiakawa. 

I continue to find the most profound relationships and the greatest successes have come when words and people, people and words, flow honestly and with commitment, together.
