AUTHOR

I have published over seventy scholarly works in textbooks, reference books, and in professional journals.  The professional articles appear in scientific journals found on the statewide, regional, national, and international levels.  (For a complete list of my scientific articles, please visit my VITAE link.)

Through time, I have broken out of the scientific research-writing mode, and have entered into the popular writing forum.  It is here that I wish to concentrate my future efforts.

Employed as the Weather Columnist for "The Meeting Place" Magazine, Magnolia Publishing,
Bowling Green, Kentucky, from February 2000 to February 2001.

My latest writing project involves the a new edition of a college textbook on the field of physical
geography.  This text is entitled "Physical Geography," 9th. Edition, by Gabler, Petersen, Trapasso and Sack. 

Previous editions of this textbook have been on the college textbook market since Fall 2003. 
 

Since travel for me, is an obsession... I often write short, first person narratives (essays) about unusual places and situations.  Most of these stories have yet to be published, due in part, to a lack of appropriate literary outlets and connections.
