Baby Boomers: From Acid Rock to Acid Reflux by the editors of Publications International, Ltd. (2006)
Throughout a career that has spanned 19+ years, I have edited more than 200 books. Most children's books were part of a series of four or more books, but in the interest of saving space (i.e., bandwidth), I'll only list a selection of my favorites here. If you'd like to see the entire list, I'd be happy to provide it for you.










Writing Experience
Although I identify more as an editor than a writer, during my career, I have had the opportunity to write a handful of books. Being a huge fan of the band U2 and the Chicago Cubs, the highlights of my career thus far as an author have been writing U2: Changing the World Through Rock ’n’ Roll and some stories in For the Love of the Chicago Cubs. Prior to a concert in Chicago in 2015, I had the honor of giving a copy of the U2 book to the Edge, who also signed a copy for me.
