BECAUSE YOU ASKED: My Favorite Tools for writing, speaking, marketing, design, newsletters, online support, and genealogy. I’ll update this page from time to time so check back.
Some of my favorite tools are affiliates, but that will not cost more to you. Some are just because they’re the best I’ve found so far. See how they might work best for you. When you do click on an affiliate link, thank you. That’s a really helpful way to support me as I continue to produce books, podcasts, video, education, entertainment, and materials for you.

BECAUSE YOU ASKED… why Muse always looks so beautiful and healthy:
Muse: I prefer real food.
Writer: He still denies being a cat preferring to identify as a ferocious fe-lion. He now eats a “raw diet” so thinks that “lion” part is real. And for Muse’s training? We use Greenies dental treats. (He thinks they’re pure gold. Shh, don’t tell him they don’t count as pay. He thinks they’re his paycheck. But no, we don’t get any pay from the company to tell you about them.)
