Indexing
I have been creating back-of-the-book indexes since 2020 and I look forward to designing the perfect one for your book! I believe that an index should be precise and concise, yet creative and elegant, and I hope you feel the same way. Please contact me to discuss your project.

Writing
Garden writing is my specialty, but my published credits include hundreds of articles about topics ranging from concussion management in minor hockey to treating feline hyperesthesia. I have been a freelance writer since 2010. In that time, I have also authored/co-authored eight gardening books, one cookbook, and nine non-fiction children’s books. Two more gardening books and one children’s book will be published in 2024, and I am currently working on a manuscript that will be published in 2025. Would you like me to write something for your publication?
