It’s a brand new year and a brand web page for my dive into magazine journalism 2023. Sometimes I’m asked to give samples of my writing and editing style, and these articles provide insights. Enjoy my interviews, articles, and cover features from January to June.
You’ll see monthly articles in The Woodlands City Lifestyle and Conroe City Lifestyle, Montgomery City Lifestyle, sometimes cross-posted in other City Lifestyle publications.

What a fun way to kick off another year in the world of words. I never know what assignments I’ll receive, which makes this line of work even more intriguing. Hopefully, these stories connect with audiences, provide inspiration and resources, and make a difference in the lives of readers.
Cheers to enjoyable new ventures from January onward!
