I'm a high-energy, success-oriented writer, who's written over the past four years on subjects as scattered as the pebbles on a beach.
      I pride myself on accuracy, efficiency, and a positive, flexible approach and, to give back to the writing community some of what it has given me, I volunteer as treasurer for the Victoria chapter of PWAC.
