I attend the bi-annual Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop at the University of Dayton, am a member of the Robert Benchley Society, and the National Society of Newspaper Columnists.
Erma was the greatest American humorist of our generation, and an inspiration to me.
My writing experience is extensive. I wrote for a subsidiary of McGraw-Hill for 12 years, as a technical staff writer and freelanced for other industry publications. I also took creative writing courses at Delaware Technical College. Many of my articles are syndicated at Associated Content and have appeared in USA TODAY, Newsday, The Courier Post, The Wall Street Journal, and many other publications.
