A sports fan turned freelancer - July 7, 2015

​Here's a Q and A I participated in for the Society of Professional Journalists' blog for freelancers. It provides a little more insight into my career path and love for sports writing.

Telling her sports story: Former Daily Journal reporter publishes 2 books - Aug. 23, 2017
​

After my first two children's books were published, the Fergus Falls Daily Journal (one of my former employers) wanted to write a story featuring me and my tale of book writing. Definitely a little different to be the story.
​

Only 30 Twins games of 98 (99 with tonight) this year have been played in less than 3 hours.

Heather is such a pro and so multi-talented. It's an absolute bummer to think about major-league baseball without her being part of it, but I do take comfort knowing she wears so many hats that now another sport/league will be graced with her presence https://t.co/06viO5JS8S

Heather is the first person I met in the Twins pressbox. I’ve enjoyed all the inside jokes we’ve cracked being sea neighbors. She is so talented, and really likes her Friends references and breakfast cheesy hash. You helped make baseball fun. https://t.co/tKRJSdk1gX

Well done, @hlrule. https://t.co/iMXi4o4SLv
