I have years of experience as a writer, journalist, public relations consultant, editor, blogger, proofreader. Please click on the page that applies to what you need. I’ll be happy to help. For your business, magazine, book, website, or organization, I can assist you.

 

In addition, I can entertain and inform your group about life in Paris, France, where I lived for a year studying French, writing, working with students, and living the Parisian life.  I present these programs at community colleges, university enrichment, private showings, clubs, and organizations.

My newest project is guided history walks — in my two favorite cities … in Hendersonville, N.C. and in Paris, France.

Guided Hendersonville Walks / Tours

Guided Hendersonville History Walks

Historic Main St.   … Oakdale Cemetery  …  and 7th Ave. Train Depot District

Take a 90-plus minute walk along Historic Main Street to learn about Hendersonville’s history and architecture and hear fascinating stories of the past.  Or, see the Look Homeward Angel grave marker, the inspiration for Thomas Wolfe’s novel, and hear lively stories about former colorful residents while strolling through Oakdale, Hendersonville’s municipal cemetery.   Or, stroll along 7th Avenue/Historic Depot District, where the action was when the first steam engine locomotives rolled into town starting in 1879 bringing hundreds of tourists.
