Starting in 1993, I began writing and forming the idea of working in design and desk top publishing. This creative outlet helped me build a life that included working for others and beginning to work for myself. I enjoy learning what computers and programs can do to bring a vision to life. While Apple and Macintosh have been my tools for decades, I am discovering new tools to reach a larger audience. In 2018, I came up with the idea for Simple Books as a platform for pulling together my work and self publishing a few pieces to share. As an anchor this platform also offers me a blog site to help other writers and artists lean about self-publishing. In 2008, I started publishing through Lulu print division and found that to be high quality. In 2018, I used iBooks to publish a children’s story and the quality is also very high.
