What is the aim or goal of your writing: I have loved writing ever since I was a child. While growing up, I can remember writing soap opera screenplays as well as movie reviews. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from Wayne State University in 1991 and became a freelance writer. I've been published in magazines and newspapers such as Lake Superior Magazine and the Advisor/Source Newspaper. I began writing my first novel, Copper Empire, over 20 years ago and finally published the book last year.
