“I risked everything for a question. I became the thing I feared the most; I discovered my true essence; I gained the knowledge to move forward regardless of anything or anyone in my way. I wouldn’t change anything that had happened back then, because in the end, it was my destiny to follow that path.”

Walking through that portal may not have been Mara’s best decision; the longer she wanders the realm, the more questions she has. She travels the twisted Corridor Realm on her own, discovering more about herself and her Source’s unique ability in her quest to escape. Meanwhile, everyone in the material realms are encountering one problem after the next. Kimala is caught in the middle of a silent feud between two ancient enemies as the Highlords frantically search for Mara still trapped within Carni. However, it is uncertain if Mara will be able to make it back safely – if she even has a body to return to, that is…

You can find Carni, along with the other books in the The Danarko Quartet, on Maxina’s website.

Manuscript Editor: Melodee Lane’s Piercing the Heart of Pegasus  (2014) andGemini Gate  (2015)

“Three women have gone missing in the small town of Blackwater Falls, S.C. Aden Garrett is a quiet teenaged girl, still struggling to cope with an accident that killed her father and left her small family emotionally battered when she becomes the abductor’s next target. Two parts romance, five parts mystery, sprinkle in some thrills, and serve it with a side of grits. Book One in the Blackwater Falls Series, Piercing the Heart of Pegasus quietly highlights the sometimes quirky, independent strength of its female characters.”

“Book two in the Blackwater Falls Series, Gemini Gate continues to highlight the quirky strength of its southern female characters. It’s still summer in South Carolina and only a few weeks have passed since Aden Garrett and her fellow survivors escaped brutal captivity. A visitor to town adds a new wrinkle or three as Aden and her friends try to get back to some semblance of normal, but they’d been warned that the captor hadn’t acted alone. Relationships are tested and secrets are revealed as a long-awaited plan is put into motion. There’s no rest for the weary in Blackwater Falls.”

You can find these books on Amazon in both print and Kindle formats.

Resident Assistant: Volunteer Editor (2010-2013)

Because of the peer leadership role I served in as Resident Assistant at Georgia Gwinnett College’s on-campus housing for three school years, I was able to work with the residents, editing their papers to help them in their scholarly journey. Some of the student’s comments are on my Client Reviews page.

“For the past several decades studies on the internal workings of the evangelical church have reflected a movement away from solid theological teaching from the pulpit. Too often, sound biblical preaching has been replaced with prosperity sermons, business models, and self-help remedies that have produced a generation of believers that have become progressively ignorant of the Bible and Christian doctrines. Grounded: Anchoring the Evangelical Sermon in Theological Doctrine calls pastors back to their primary task of feeding the sheep. Author and pastor, David Brown examines twenty passages and builds an interpretation based upon historical, literary and grammatical methodologies, then provides a sermon outline for each passage. Both pastors and Sunday school teachers alike will find this book helpful in preparing sermons and teaching outlines that are anchored in theological doctrine.”

News Writing and Reporting: Copy Editor (2011)

Editorial Portfolio (PDF)

In my News Writing class, which was run like a newspaper, I took on the role of “Copy Editor.” In this role, I was assigned to read over the class’ articles for grammar issues and provide suggestions on how to make the articles better overall. I was also given the names of five students whose work I would read in-depth and make corrections. I was able to learn the AP style quickly and help students fine-tune their works while communicating why corrections needed to be made. At the end of the semester, I turned in an Editorial Portfolio which showcased some of the work I did in the class. I took screenshots of different works during the process of editing and described what I did in the process and how I helped the students through their writing processes.

“This highly-recommended training tool promises to cultivate the way you view promotion and Godly leadership.

*I worked alongside a team of editors at Christian Editing Services in order to complete full edits for this book.

The Reflection Magazine: Volunteer Copy Editor (2014)

While I was the writer of the “Faith and Forgiveness” column in The Reflection Magazine, I also did a lot of background work. I was in charge of editing more than half of the articles submitted. This included (but was not limited to) poetry, short stories, inspirational features, and notes from the editor.

Notes on Teaching English: Editorial Assistant Intern (2012)

January through May of 2012, I worked as an intern with Dr. Daniel Vollaro as an editorial assistant. We set out at the beginning of the semester to revive an old print journal Notes on Teaching English as an online journal. I did a lot of work, including research about various aspects of an academic journal and composing pages such as “About,” “Submissions,” and “History.” I also edited several  articles that were published when the journal went online the following year.

Throughout the articles, I made grammatical edits as well as made comments in the articles pointing out confusing sentences and giving examples of how the authors could word their sentences better. I made sure to devote time to these pieces to make sure I read them correctly.

At the end of the articles, I wrote my overall comments in a neutral, blue color. Comments placed here included issues that continued throughout the entire piece. They ranged from incorrect citing of sources to even the focus of the piece itself. This helped the authors to understand my corrections more easily.

You can find this online journal here.
