I have been a freelance writer for fifteen years. I began my writing career when I moved to Taos, New Mexico. What an inspirational place! Along with Bright Hub, I freelance for LovetoKnow, the Examiner, Orato, the Taos News. I also have many private clients where I help them write business plans and human resource handbooks, forms, policies and procedures. I have published one novel, Firewater in 1999.
Most recently, my writing has been focused on the auto industry world, green living, human resources, project management, and help for the small business owner.
Along with my writing career, I own and operate two businesses with my husband Bill in Taos, Scheid Body & Paint and in Las Vegas, New Mexico, Enchantment Ford. I have a background in employee development, employee management, and project development. I have written employee manuals for a national company whose main office is in Rhode Island along with various articles for Redbook and the Sterling MacFadden Group. I have also had articles appear in Glimmer Train Press.
A member of the Southwest Writer's Group, I am also a mother of two, Rachel and Julie and have one grandson, Gabriel who lives in Alaska.
