Shooting Star, the Bevo Francis Story If you are looking for a nonfiction book editor, I'm the best (google me). My edits are so seamless that authors often exclaim, "You sound like me &mdash only better!" They also marvel at my ability to catch discrepancies, inconsistencies, and redundancies, often hundreds of pages apart. As a former newspaper editor and reporter, I know how to help a writer tell a story - or explain how to do something - with accuracy and precision. And I never miss a deadline. The publishing industry has many fine editors, but these are the skills that set me apart.

Shooting Star: The Bevo Francis Story, by Kyle Keiderling, has been published by Sport Classic Books. Kyle hired me to edit the biography, which has a foreword by George Steinbrenner. "Bevo almost single-handedly kept the game alive after the 1951 betting scandals. This wonderful book provides great insight into Bevo and his marvelous contribution to college basketball." --- Bill Raftery, CBS Sports and ESPN

I've just started editing Kyle's latest manuscript, a biography of the basketball player Hank Gathers that is tentatively titled Thunderbolt.
