Word, Image and Sound

I have written for numerous local and regional publications, with articles spanning from news and feature stories during my newspaper career to feature articles for the University of Arkansas alumni magazine to academic articles for local and state historical publications. More recently, I’ve also started working on book-length projects. Below are a select representation of those articles and books.

• Images of America: Fayetteville. With Ellen Compton. (2011). Charleston, S.C.: Arcadia Publishing.
