I have been writing articles since 1997. Many of my articles have appeared in various periodicals and ezines. You may find some of them on the Web. Most of my stories are drawn from my personal experiences and topics of historical significance, such as, slavery, volcano eruptions, and Philippine independence. I also enjoy featuring extraordinary people who have made significant contributions to their communities in particular, and to the United States in general. I am also a very patriotic citizen, so I write stories about the greatness of this nation, and about our soldiers who are fighting for our freedom, as well as the freedom of the oppressed citizens of other countries. This folder contains a small sampling of my published articles. I sometimes refer to my nonfiction stories to create short story fiction, or to incorporate in my novels in progress. Thank you for visiting my portfolio.
