"I'm not a creative writer; I'm an analyzer and lover of storytelling. Stories can come in the form of a novel, but they can also be the story about a dramatic time in your life or in the unique way you share hard-earned wisdom about a topic. I enjoy hearing an author's ideas about their book, reading what they've written, and helping them distill and crystallize the truths they want to convey to the reader. I want to help establish a connection between the author and the reader. It is in this connection that lives are changed."
