    Began writing in earnest in 2006, but my first novel was not completed until 2011. In 2011, I took time away from the marketplace to complete and write three novels. Novel #1, Deliver Us from Darkness, was published in 2014 by BHC Press (originally published in 2013 by JWK Fiction under the title, "Freedom Fight). Titles #2, When Darkness Comes", and #3, "Behind the Darkness", were published in 2015 and 2017, respectively.It took two years of rejections until finally landing a contract with JWK Fiction out of Indianapolis, IN. They worked furiously to rush my book into print and into the marketplace. I was wooed away by a great company, BHC Press, in 2014 and have been with them since.

    Working from a home satellite office (company offices in Dayton & Cincinnati), I am responsible for locating and assisting homeowners and commercial property owners navigate the insurance indemnification process to ensure that insurance carriers abide by all State, County, and Local building codes for the complete restoration of properties with damages stemming from hail, high winds, flooding, and/or fires. We help property owners, management companies, and real estate agents understand how insurance policies cover the cost of exterior and interior damages resulting from storms or other naturally-occurring events. For any property assessed to have damage, my goal is to alleviate as many out-of-pocket expenses as possible—outside of the insurance deductible—for full property restorations. https://www.linkedin.com/redir/phishing-page?url=www%2eProTouchHome%2ecom / www.ProTouchInspect.comPersonal responsibilities include:• Maintaining residential and commercial client databases (AccuLynx)• Making sure clients are comfortable with the entire process that we manage on their behalves: contracts, establishment of claims, meeting with their insurance adjusters, resolution of "repair-only" estimates or claim denials from insurance carriers, and satisfaction with the actual physical restorations of their homes / businesses.• Utilization of computer programs/apps: Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, PhotoLine, VPN (for client information and personal security)
