Suite101 has been my home away from home for over 12 years. I began as a writer covering antiques, collectibles and interior decorating, and eventually became an Editor of the Plants and Animals section. Interacting with other writers is a personal joy and working toward helping them become better writers is a passion for me.

My background includes a degree in English, and many working years as a copywriter, newsletter editor, freelance writer and marketing specialist. Hobbies and interests include gardening, golf, antiques, travel, food and cooking. My home is in upstate New York, the most beautiful state in the US.
