Welcome to BlondeAvenger, featuring my work that has appeared in the Denver Post, the Columbia Journalism Review, the Rocky Mountain News and PoliticsDaily.com.
The inspiration for the website name of “BlondeAvenger” is lost to time. I undoubtedly was influenced by my tech-savvy and super hero-worshiping friends, Judy and Scott, who persuaded me back in 2005 to secure the domain name. “It’s a classic,” they assured me.
Thanks for stopping by.

He next job was as a copy editor for the Arizona Republic, followed by a move to Mesa, Ariz., where she launched the first Sunday edition of the Mesa Tribune. After serving as city editor there, she transferred to the the Tempe Daily News as executive editor.
She landed next in Longview, Texas, as editor of the Longview Morning Journal, where she he'ped herself to fried catfish, barbecue, fried green tomatoes, Pearl Beer and Merle Haggard tunes.
She next landed in Denver at the Rocky Mountain News as an assistant city editor, and later as Lifestyles editor and Home Front editor. She left in 2000 to become a dot.com millionaire. She was disappointed.
She returned to the Rocky in 2003 as an assistant city editor. Through it all, she wrote her weekly "Right At Home" column on Saturdays.
She was present at the sad shuttering of the Rocky in 2009, after which she worked for PoliticsDaily, the Denver Post, Columbia Journalism Review, National Conference of State Legislatures and RealClearPolitics.
