About
I tried lots of things before I settled down to be a writer.
My career as a television producer, filmmaker, broadcast executive, media funder has taken me to every continent except Antarctica and Australia. I'm an ardent observer, always trying to connect the dots. I get help from my characters for both story and dialogue--I've learned to listen to them.
Much of what I write will focus on diversity (in its broadest sense) because I am passionate about its merits. But my stories are not didatic and have a heaping tablespoon of humor, danger, & fun. Oh, and always food.
I've written Long Way Home: A World War II Novel (available on Amazon) about the daily lives and self-discovery of two black soldiers-including a WAAC-who served stateside during WWII. My current projects are a mystery series called The Charlie Mack Mysteries (set in Detroit with a female Private Investigator) and another novel that chronicles one woman's spiral into homelessness. I'm also writing and editing a gaggle of short stories about families and the situations in which they find themselves.
I live in Washington, DC but please don't blame me for that!

Story Behind The Book
I began writing this story after viewing Ken Burns' successful documentary, The War. Most WWII novels, films and documentaries focus on the valor of soldiers in combat. That's where the action is. But for many Negro soldiers who served during World War II, hoping to achieve glory in battle, the experience was far different. Unit after unit of black servicemen and women were resigned to be left behind. Away from the front lines and glory in battle. Instead they served in in a segregated U. S. military where their daily battles were personal but nonetheless courageous. Long Way Home tells the story of two of these soldiers.
