I've been a professional freelance writer since 2007, following 15 years as an environmental/land use attorney. HubPages has given me the opportunity to explore my creative side, showcase my photography, and write "how to" articles on topics ranging from running marathons to healthy eating and living with diabetes.  I frequently publish hubs about the many amenities offered in my Central Oregon home of Bend, Oregon.  My favorite topics include gardening, recipes and raising a family.

If you want to write and publish for fun, and earn some extra money, join HubPages for free. Sign up now!  It is so easy to start publishing right away at no cost.

HubPages is where I was "born" as an Internet junkie and self-publisher. I consider myself well-versed in SEO, Web 2.0 and social networking.  I love the community and quality writers at this site!  In addition to publishing Hubs, I also have created several niche blogs on solar energy (Solar Panels and Solar Power) and living green (www.peachygreen.com).

Follow me here at HubPages so you can get regular updates of my new Hubs (just click the big green "Follow" button to the left of my photo on this page.  You can also find me at RedGage, Twitter, and Facebook.  I love bookmarking interesting articles and photographs via Friend Feed, Delicious and Pinterest.
