  I wrote this press release about a quirky French restaurant in Richmond and submitted it to The Richmond Surroundings magazine. I attached the picture above with the release. My lunchmate Ginger never did believe that I submitted the picture with both of us in it. |
 I wrote the James Cotton press release for Hohner instruments, one of Edelmann Scott’s biggest advertising accounts. |

 I had moved from Richmond, Virginia to Los Angeles, California three weeks before the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The day after the quake (Tuesday) I called my editor in Richmond and asked if she’d be interested in a first-hand account from a Richmonder. She said yes, but on spec. So what a great surprise it was to see the full page article located on the backside of the front page of Sunday’s paper. |
I enjoy going to estate sales even more than yard sales, so I suggested an anecdotal/how-to article to my editor. She liked the idea and even sent a photographer to meet me at one of the sales. |
