Finish line for Ph.D.!

Besides my son, my proudest accomplishment is that I completed my Ph.D. (transcript) at Texas Tech University in Lubbock and defended my dissertation Oct. 16, 2009. I am the author of 40 books, see deals from Publishers Weekly 1, 2, 3. My career in newspapers ended when I quit my full-time job to raise my son alone. Things worked out well; book and a freelance career in magazines paid the bills, and my writing for Web sites  keeps my reporting sharp.
