When I first scrawled my Atomic Tangerine crayon across the walls, at the age of three, my parents didn't think I'd spend my life scribbling. For the most part, I've moved past crayons, but I still scribble.

As a freelance writer, I've shimmied through a belly dancing class, discovered the sometimes strange ways six-figure earners scrimp and zoomed around a race track. I've interviewed celebrities, prodded fitness trainers and questioned chefs. I've traveled to Vegas to cover the Miss Exotic World competition and the Finger Lakes to sample wine. I've written about food, travel, health, fitness, entertainment, women's issues, books, business, beauty, dating, technology and whatever else sparks my interest.

My scribbling has appeared in the Washington Post, USA Today, Glamour, Redbook, Woman's Day and Cooking Light among other publications. And in the fall of 2007 my biography on burlesque dancer Lili St. Cyr will be published by Billboard Books.
