The Most Powerful Stories Are…
Compelling…thought provoking…transforming.
As a storyteller, I focus in three areas.
Author
I have published four non-fiction Christian books, two humor driven, Christian detective novels: Soul Pursuit and Finding Grace, and an exegetical Bible Study on Philippians for indivduals & small groups. View them on the books page of this website. I’ve also written, directed, and produced humorous skits and dramas for church events. You can view, purchase, and download them for a modest fee from the drama page.
Blogger
When I first started blogging, posts generally supported my freelance copywriting business. Now they are published weekly and address relevant topics related to the Christian faith. Primarily rooted in scripture, they strive to encourage the church and proclaim the gospel. View them on the blog page of this website and leave a comment.
Copywriting
Are you a thought leader? Need a seasoned ghostwriter to share your expertise as online content? Let’s talk.
I speak in a warm, friendly, and conversational voice. And my 20+ years of experience includes a variety of materials across different platforms for diverse industries.
But it’s my humor writing that sets me apart. To compose clever captions with play on words, weave exaggeration and understatement into funny stories, and reform clichés with a surprising twist. To make your audience smile, chuckle, and laugh out loud. And of course, click on your links.

Humanize Yourself—Write a Good Word
In marketing my freelance copywriting business, I communicate regularly with clients and potential clients through various professional online networks, social media channels and e-mail. I’d rather meet with people over a cup of coffee. It would be much less...
Image is everything…you think?
A customer told me he was unhappy with my copy because he felt it didn’t make his company look as good as the competition. He said, and I quote: “in this business image is everything.” Then he proceeded to stiff me on the balance of what he owed even though he’s still...
The write freelance jobs from writer websites
There are several writer sites on the Internet I visit regularly to check out freelance writing opportunities. I’m not sure why. Perhaps it’s force of habit. Maybe the undying hope that I’ll land my dream assignment writing from a beach in Hawaii. Most likely however,...
Why you should hire a copywriter—persuasive writing that sells
Several years ago I had an ongoing writing gig for the local newspaper. It sponsored a special real estate section in the Sunday edition that featured a number of available properties. My job was to visit those properties and write up a review that appeared in the...

Writing to satisfy the customer rather than only completing the project
For a particular writing assignment I enlisted the support of an associate. I had worked with her before so I knew she was both skilled and professional. However, during the project I realized we had a different perspective that undermined our ability to work...
Video Scripts—Writing visually
When writing for print material, I usually focus on copy and don’t concern myself with the visual aspect. That’s because I know a skilled graphic designer will take my content and build a visual theme around it. Writing video scripts however, is a different matter....
Impressive writing vs writing to impress
I am most impressed by writing that makes a point clearly, succinctly and in language that is appropriate to the audience. If you’re writing an article that’s targeted to plumbers, it’s okay to use terminology common to the industry with little or no explanation. It’s...
