Lakefront Muse - Writing with depthA Little BackgroundI've been a professional writer and editor for years. Call me seasoned. While most of that writing has been technical non-fiction (think footnotes and bibliographies), I've branched into writing Women's Fiction and Romantic Suspense. Winds of Change (Summer 2012)
