Summary
I have worked for Siren-Bookstrand for nearly 10 years. I started as a cover artist and grew the relationship with management by earning their trust with my work ethic and honesty.
I have been involved in many aspects of the e-publishing business moving from Cover Artist to Cover Art Administrator to Print Coordinator and finally Editorial Coordinator. I work closely with Diana DeBalko, the President of the company as well as authors. I am currently in charge of all these divisions.

Under the pen name of Harris Channing I have written and self-published several titles including, The Demon is in the Details and In Sarah's Shadow. I currently have two titles published at Siren-Bookstrand. "Goldie and the Three Behrs" and "Yesterday's Indiscretion".
Using my pen name I have also published many of my photos to various stock image websites, Dreamstime and Big Stock Photo to name just a couple.
In my leisure time I enjoy reading. I like many genres of literature. Right now I'm interested in true crime stories but last month I was reading short stories by O. Henry.
My choice of music is eclectic varying from oldies like Elvis Presley to newer artists like Post Malone. Country musicians like Toby Keith to classical composers like Mozart.
