I am a professional freelance writer with numerous articles published in national, regional, city, and online magazines on a variety of topics including wine, food, travel, history, genealogy, cemetery culture, and Boomer issues.


I write two weekly blogs. A Grave Interest is a blog about cemetery culture, history, and genealogy. And Joy's JOY of Wine, about wine, how to enjoy it, and living the wine lifestyle.

I also speak professionally about history, genealogy, wine, and cemeteries.
