Welcome to the world of the pen.

As a freelance writer, I create articles about travel, arts and culture, people, nature and luxury lifestyles for print publications and Internet sites.

On this web site you can find a stack of magazines I have written for—articles on a variety of subjects including road trips, luxury tours, accommodations, and profiles of both people and critters. My camera took all the pictures on this site, and some have appeared with my articles. Please contact me if you would like to reprint an article or picture.

Editors looking for clips may want to go directly to What (general writing) and Where ( travel writing). Those two pages hold some of my prize-winning articles.

Think of this web site as an Atlas of the Pen. Where I Have Been influences Who I Am and What I Write. If you have a bit of free time, check out When, which shares some things that amuse me.

“I admire writing like this. It is like watching a craftsman at work.”
