HomeWorking

Writing, editing--for Home Education Magazine and VaHomeschoolers Voice, among others--reporting for WCVE public radio, teaching at Southside Virginia Community College and speaking on homeschooling, raising kids, and family life. You haven't lived until you've produced radio news in a 1931 house with high ceilings and kids playing under your window.
