current projects
The divisions of Cable Creek serve different audiences, enabling me to collaborate with a diverse population of authors, creators, and thinkers. Some examples: Through Line by Line Coaching, I am working with several writers at various project stages--from conceptualization of a collection of social-justice essays to completion of a mystery/suspense novel 15 years in the making. Via the Center for Strategic Thought, I am designing and editing a book of strategic leader research to connect publicly-funded ideas with the public that funded them. And, finally, I am the project lead for CC Teen, a new initiative to inspire and encourage emerging teen authors and artists. Thus, writing, editing, and coaching constitute the majority of my professional . . . and personal . . . life. As a friend of mine once said (repeatedly), "It's nice work if you can do it!"
