Tabs and Content Explanations (beyond the obvious):

PUBLISHED WORK serves up examples of my professional news and feature writing, where you can link to external sites or download reprints of articles written for a variety of publications. It’s for anyone who wants to see writing samples but also for general reading, should the content interest you.

BLOG offers magazine-ish type features I write occasionally for this site when I feel a tug to share a story of an interesting nature. I do try to set a reasonably high bar for “of general interest,” and I put time and love into these pieces.

The BLURBOSPHERE is where I shine a light on others whose work, moments of brilliance or special accomplishments I’ve found interesting, and so might you.

“REAL DOGS” is the shortened tab name for my column “The Real Dogs of White Bear Lake”) published in The White Bear Press and affiliated papers owned by Press Publications serving the northeast suburbs of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. Each column features a glimpse into the life of a dog I come across by sheer chance on rambles around the city of White Bear Lake and environs. These are my (often humorous) takes on the lives, loves, aspirations and dramas of ordinary dogs who make their humans’ lives more extraordinary, and vice versa. Skim the site for a dog and column intro that catches your eye. Columns are made available on my site the week after Press Publications has run them via links to their site. Reprints are provided here also.
