Experience

Dean of Humanities Division 2000-2022

Professor of English 1998-2024

During these years at Rust College, Holly Springs, MS, I wrote, edited, and taught on all levels.

I write articles, stories, poetry, blogs, books, and more. I particularly enjoy writing blogs. See my portfolio for samples of my writing and editing. Several blogs are among the samples.

I have served as a referee for a scholarly health journal since 2012.

I have also written weekly gardening articles for two newspapers, The South Reporter and The Pine Bluff Commercial.

Two of my children’s books have been published.  Another children’s book and a novel will soon be looking for a publisher.
