Most of what you see here is relates to toys and games because that's what I have primarily worked on for the last several years. I have written about other things: office supplies, clothing, pet products, home decor, foods, and more. I have also edited a fantasy YA novel and a Christian blog. I can be humorous, serious, tech-y, and flower-y. I am VERSATILE!
If you'd like to see a specific type of writing sample, please just ask.
