PUBLISHING HISTORY

I've worked in various capacities in the publishing field for more than 22 years including freelance writer, crochet designer, associate editor, managing editor and editor. Only recently have I tried to put my publishing history into a fixed form. What I have posted here reflects my most recent work, which is only a  small portion of my publishing history. More of my past publications will be added as I have time. New designs will be listed as they are published.
