This is my blogger profile. It's a pretty good top 10 for a writer and editor. A client can learn a lot about me quickly.

The next page has brought up two places to buy my books, my LinkedIn directory, my Ryze page again, my XING page, a place to buy my first book, a blog entry here, something on Twitter, a site that sells my Dale Earnhardt book (Angel in Black: Remembering Dale Earnhardt, Sr.), and a story I wrote for the Wilmington (N.C.) Star-News in 1986.

Boy, I really got around.

Overall, it's a great search; someone could learn about me and my books, and he could read a story I wrote when he was in sixth grade.
