Hello, to whom it may concern:

Below is a list of all the stories I wrote for the chaparral, the COD college of the desert newspaper while I was there from 2000---2003 receiving 3 AA’s with a GPA 3.74

The stories are all online starting with the first story at the bottom and the most recent up on top or you can click on first link below that takes you to all of them. I also have the hard copies from the original newspapers if you are interested in seeing them.

I didn’t write articles in Northridge while I was there 2003—2005, but did work on their paper Daily Sundial with pagination, editing, etc.

I may be a little rusty with my writing, but I can catch up pretty fast. You can also check out my own website where I sell life insurance and some of my 300 poems are listed. http://ranswill.com/and http://www.thepoeticlink.com/pl/view_someones_poems.php3?user_id=claus

Each different color is a different issue, just in case you were wondering.

I may have wasted the past couple of years trying to work regular jobs that I didn’t like, but think it is time once again to do what I love and that is write, whether news articles, short stories or poems, etc. 

Any questions or concerns, please call anytime 760-574-7096

Claus Ranswill

P.S.

I have also written many short fiction stories and am really looking forward to getting my own book published with these stories and poems.
