I write for a living. Mostly about the dead.
I launched my professional journalism career in 1990 at a South Florida weekly. Over the next decade, I wrote for newspapers in Florida, Mississippi and California.
In 1997, I made the leap to online media, first as the assignment editor for Eye on the Web, then as a website reviewer for Snap.com (both now defunct). That same year, I launched Inscriptions Magazine, a weekly e-zine for professional writers. Inscriptions won numerous awards and was named one of the Best Websites for Writers by Writers Digest three years in a row.
During the ‘oughts, teens and early ’20s, I served as the overnight editor for The New York Times, The Associated Press, Yahoo! News, Night Owl News and HuffPost. Since 2023, I’ve worked as the overnight editor/curator of local news at Apple News (via Magnit Global).
When not on the clock, I edit A Bit of Good News. I also enjoy spending time with my husband, Marcus Weir and our five cats (Treacle, Trifle, Choux, Chai and Pepper).
