Writing and Editing Credits
Magazines
An editor of Reminsce magazine for eight and a half years, I edited roughly fifteen feature stories per month and countless shorter anecdotes sent in by readers. In 1999 I left Reiman Publications in Milwaukee for a beautiful little town overlooking the Mississippi River. Since beginning my freelance career, I've authored more than 30 nonfiction children's books on a wide variety of topics ranging from the history of skateboarding to Inca mummies to apartheid to Abu Ghraib to biographies of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Chuck Yeager and the Wright brothers. I've written and edited books from every reading level from third grade to adults. I've sold articles to kids' magazines like Boys' Life and Wild Outdoor World, as well as contributed occasional pieces to respected popular historical publications such as American History, Timeline, Flight Journal and The Compass
