Lonely Too was written by two sisters and inspired by the folktale their mother used to tell. That tale centers on the mysterious disappearance of a young lady from the winter festival in a small northeastern town and the unraveling of former superstitions and stigmas that set the town on edge. It is a suspenseful story intertwined with romance and intrigue. I was hired to line edit the manuscript, and it was delightful to work with two authors simultaneously.

Developer Adam DuVander initially enlisted my services for a manuscript review. After studying the report I provided for Developer Marketing Does Not Exist, he hired me to line edit his manuscript for the technology market.

In My Journey From Lack To Radical Generosity, Becky Swanstrum shares her story of walking and living out God’s economy of abundance here on earth by adhering to sound biblical principles of generosity, sowing and reaping, and responding to prompts in her spirit to give.

I managed all aspects of this project from copy and line editing to print on demand.

Allen Balogh is the author of Black Sails and The Goat with a Glass Eye. He hired me to rework this history of the Knights Templar, the Christian military order and keepers of the Holy Land.

I assisted Allen with formatting and layout as well as uploading files for publication.
