Available to write great Iowa stories, especially those based on true events. If you know of a story that simply must be told, reach out to me and we can discuss the best route to go forward. Without storytellers, great deeds and tales of the past disappear a little more every year. Short story, full length books, and movie media allow our great stories to live on.
