French Twist is a remarkable memoir of resilience, faith, and deep bonds that endure through time. It offers a revelatory glimpse of a life in all its complexity, challenge, and triumph.

This memoir is the incredible story of Janine Winters, a strong and brave woman who trusted me to tell her story. Her life experiences and my writing.

In 2005 I completed a "ghost-written" autobiography for a wonderful 85-year young woman (Jeannette's Story - excerpt here).

I have also done some smaller projects such as short professional biographies and spiritual memoirs. I can customize a life story project to meet your needs and budget.

Of course, you can also explore other avenues. That's a big part of the purpose of this website. See the Biography Writers page.

The main thing is that someone tells your life story or family history.You've got a great story to tell...let the world know!

Below are some brief sample writings about me and my family. I have also written and collaborated with a number of other clients for life story projects, varying in length from short forms to full length books.

Read these samples and then contact me to discuss how I can help you "tell your story".

I looked away from my e-mail and smiled at Eric. "Sure, but hurry up and get your homework done. You need to do good on your spelling test".

"I know! I will." He shuffled off to his room and I wondered again at how my parents' voice comes out of my mouth.

About twenty minutes later he is finally done writing out those words and I grab my hat and sunglasses and head for the door. He's hurrying behind, but just as I get to the screen door he calls out.

"Wait! I need to bring along my flag!" |continue reading|

Houston, No Problem Here

The sun is blazing down on an August day in Arkansas. It’s one of those hot, humid days where the mosquitoes are more annoying because they buzz around the sweat dripping above my ears. Nevertheless, I’m smiling.

We are rocketeers! Yes, my brother and I are in an open field getting ready to launch our latest Estes model rockets. We’ve been getting them by mail order for the past couple of months. Even our mailman is hooked. He’s come to recognize the packages and will even linger while we open the latest box. He must have the stars in his eyes, too.
