Background in Journalism, writing , editing, proof reading, for nearly 25 years. I have published five books and have co-authored a biography that will be released in the summer. I have three masters in education, journalism, African and Literary Studies, and Public Policy including a doctorate in Educatinal and Organization Leadership.The art of writing requires time and focus. In the information tsunami of today, people are easliy distracted and this is where I excel. I still believe in the old school of writing well-written and well-edited books where excellence in mechanics are treasured. I enjoy holding a well -written book in my hand while sipping tea in my garden. In addition, I like the ease of reading an ebook on my Ipad and Kindle as well. This ability to marry both the old and the new media is what I bring to the table as a writer and an author.
