I am a born writer, and have BA in Technical Writing. For several years I was a freelance writer for non-profits and businesses, specializing in policy and procedure, newsletters, and advertising copy. Following a divorce I married a divorced mom and became a stepdad, which was a stunning revelation. Finding no help, I began learning about stepparenting and started teaching classes about it, formed a non-profit, got certified as a Family Mediator, and spent the last 20 years teaching, writing articles and lesson books, and counseling. I am here to refresh my writing skills as I write books for stepfamilies and for classes I still teach.
