The process of “Becoming” a Ghostwriter began early. At age 6, after reading a particularly fascinating book about butterflies one day, I decided that I was going to be a writer. That it would be the very best and most fun thing I could do in life. I started creating stories, small graphic novels, and even greeting cards, and never
stopped.

I grew up on a sprawling dairy farm in Kentucky and spent many days escaping my siblings by crafting stories on the banks of a little pond in the woods. I swear that Fairies played and danced around that little pond while the cows stood by chewing cud and watching with big round moo eyes.” The Fairies’ story will become a novel or novella, maybe even a BriefBook someday.

Throughout my life, I have always believed that I could help people manifest their writing dreams, no matter what it was they wanted to write. I also have always tried to utilize a Heart & Soul approach to my writing and everyday experiences. I believe that the reason some books sell, and others don’t is because the successful ones appear to the “heart” and speak to the reader on a very personal level, whether fiction or nonfiction. And it doesn’t matter if one is inspired by fairies in the woods, or simply by a message they want to tell the world, a good book has “heart.” That’s my secret to making your book a New York Times bestseller.

I have ghostwritten, developed, book-doctored and edited more than 100 books in the past 15-20 years. And yes, there are several that are New York Times and International Bestsellers. Not only do I write for clients worldwide, but I have freelanced as a contributing editor for the Wall Street Journal and a managing editor for mainstream women’s magazines. In addition, I have written medical podcasts, travel articles and books, e-zines, website copy, brochures, newsletters, television and radio commercials, documentaries, screenplays and more.

I am a voracious reader of all types of books, which I think is important if you’re a Ghostwriter, and especially if you write different genres, which I do, in both fiction and nonfiction. I love utilizing literary and/or experimental writing in both fiction and nonfiction, which pushes the language further than usual. My genres include Memoirs, Entertainment Biographies, Sports Biographies, Historical Fiction, Fantasy, SY-FY, Dystopian, YA, Tweens, Magical Realism, Time Travel, International Geopolitical Thrillers, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Futuristic Mystery Thrillers, Paranormal, Alchemy, Neuroscience, Metaphysical, Thought Leadership, Personal Transformation, Business Culture, and Fables (think The Alchemist), etc. I love incorporating romance in the stories in some way if possible, and I love writing about the “Hero’sJourney” in all genres and cultures. I convert film scripts and graphic novels into full length novels, too.
