WEBSITE CONTENT

For well over a year, I have written and maintained a multi-page website dealing with a specialized literary genre, solve-it-yourself mini-mysteries (the other arm of my writing career). Here's a link to the home page:

Stanwick-Mini-Mysteries.com

And here's a link to a sample page of mini-mysteries:

NEWSPAPER REPORTS, COMMENTARY, HUMOR

I've written numerous freelance news stories for area newspapers over the years. Here are links to a couple of samples:

Reagan's welfare cutbacks attacked by Senator Atkins
Debate begins for budget guidelines


I have also contributed an occasional commentary or humor piece to the local community newspaper or college newspaper. Here are two:

What happened to the World of Tomorrow?
Some fun with the night teller


I've done several articles and series for Finest Hour, the international journal of The Churchill Centre in Washington.

One was a three-part series on Churchill's role in shaping postwar Eastern Europe. It can be seen here:

Churchill and Eastern Europe: The Polish Government
Churchill and Eastern Europe: Poland and Germany -- The Balancing Act
Churchill and Eastern Europe: Churchill's Case for Liberating What He Could


Another series, this one in six parts, rebutted a critical series of reviews of Churchill's memoirs:

The Churchill Legend (Neilson): The Gathering Storm
The Churchill Legend (Neilson): Their Finest Hour
The Churchill Legend (Neilson): The Grand Alliance
The Churchill Legend (Neilson): The Hinge of Fate
The Churchill Legend (Neilson): Closing the Ring
The Churchill Legend (Neilson): Triumph and Tragedy


BOOKS

I've ghostwritten financial trading book manuscripts for Oliver Velez and George Fontanills, which for proprietary reasons cannot be shown or linked to here, but....

Under by own name, I've written four books (not counting anthologies) that collectively have been published in ten languages.

My nonfiction book is The Sacred Rules of Management: How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Work. You can have a look at it here:

Sacred Rules of Management

My other three books are collections of my mini-mysteries. Here are their links at Barnes & Noble for a look at them:
