Writing is in my DNA – my father was a journalist, and my eldest brother is a screenwriter. Since 2012, I have written over 20 articles about court reporting which have been published in various legal magazines and blog sites. In 2015, I self-published my ebook for court reporting students and reporters, 0-225: Your Guide to Writing Mastery. My upcoming memoir about my journey to the USSR to birth my baby as a peace gesture is a “Labor of Love,” itself. Read my blog Birthing the American “Peace Baby” in Leningrad, USSR for a glimpse into that global life-changing event.
