I am a published author, but my true passion is editing. I have been helping aspiring authors edit, revise, and polish their stories for over 10 years. Working closely with writers strengthen characters' voices, plots, archs, and prose is extremely gratifying. I have published work and several writers that I've worked closely with have gone on to find agents and have been published. I had a career in law enforcement for over 25 years and can provide expert advice on law enforcement protocol and court system, specifically for the Chicagoland area.
