A LIST OF WRITINGS
I am a Board Member for the Colorado Lawyer, a magazine serving lawyers throughout the U.S. mountain state region. I am also the Coordinating Editor for the “As I See It” article series in the same magazine.
I write a regular column for the Wyoming Lawyer, another magazine serving lawyers in the mountain state region. It is called “Write On” and is about legal writing.
In addition to the above series, I have published professional articles on leadership, adventure articles on mountain climbing, academic articles on topics such as the difference between taxes and fees, and won a poetry prize for a poem entitled The Choice of Two.
I have recently completed a middle grade novel entitled The Lake of Angels. It is about a young girl named Maggie-Margaret, who is forced to learn to survive in the Olympic mountains in Washington State. She is taught by a young Nez Perce boy, who is a descendent of Chief Joseph. I am now working on the second book in the trilogy.
A list of my writings is below, if you are interested.
