I am a former professor of writing at 6 IA/IL colleges who has written for 5 newspapers and 7 blogs (including my own, www.WeeklyWilson.com) for 56 years. I have 2 children, born 20 years apart, play 4 musical instruments (2 of them well) and have written 18 books (see Amazon). I covered the 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns, for which I was named Content Producer of the Year (by a 600,000 member blog), frequently cover TV and Movies for Yahoo, and love warm weather beach destinations. My son works for Broner Metals of the UK and I was an exchange student in Weston-Super-Mare, Birmingham and Chiselehurst in my youth. My daughter is currently working in Australia, but worked for Taylor Swift's 13 Management in Nashville (TN) before that, as a Music Business graduate of Belmont University in Nashville.
