Here are articles "ghost-written" for a leading groupware magazine. The words are mine, but not the original ideas—you won't usually see my name in the byline.

  In 1995, I gave a presentation at the STC national conference, and was also invited to publish this article in the conference proceedings. It presents common-sense tips on creating documentation that people can succeed with and relate to.

Keyboard Magazine Instructional Books

I co-authored these books while I was Editor of the Books department at GPI, publishers of Guitar Player, Keyboard, and Frets magazines. I did all writing and organization, while my co-author taught me to program synthesizers and MIDI devices.

I wrote the following articles for Frets, a leading acoustic music magazine from GPI (who also publish Keyboard and Guitar Player magazines):

• "Soloist in the Shadows"
  An interview with guitarist Nina Gerber, Frets, July 1988.
• "New Sounds for the City"
  An interview with guitarist Eric Tingstad, Frets, May 1986.
• "After the Cheering Stops"
