I've am an editor who does both content and line editing, as well as being a proofreader. Currently, I've been an editor for Wonderlust Magazine, and an Associate Editor for a travel article site, [login to view URL], Rose Red Publishing, Class Act Books, and Permuted Press. I have excellent English grammar skills in both US and UK English. As a writer, I've written and had published a number of romance (Regency and Historical) novels, as well as science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, cozy murder mysteries, thrillers, and horror. I also have two nonfiction books out, as well. I've had short stories and novellas in a wide variety of genres published, including (again), science fiction, fantasy, romance, horror, steampunk, adventure, and more. I've written an anthology of paranormal romances. One novella, The Crossroads Ghost, was nominated for Best Paranormal Romance 2011. I'm also an experienced technical writer. My tech writing includes a manual for a neurosurgeon's brain scanner, manuals for operating translation equipment for court reporters, articles on infusion pumps, dating, various science subjects, travel, and much else.
