Alice Ramirez List of Published Works

Feel free to read the full text of four articles published in gardening and horticulture-related magazines.

Maldive Mystery

Eden in a Mineshaft

Going Bananas for Growing Bananas

I acquired a professional certification in print journalism from UCLA University Extension. Currently I work on a newsletter for the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at UCLA as well as doing a ton of computer graphics. I am sorry to say that I have gotten quite lazy about selling articles to magazines. Computer graphics , as an activity, is more fun.

Other gardening articles published include:

• Going Bananas (a completely different article with the same title as an earlier article)- American Gardener Jan 99
• Birds and Belugas - Transitions Abroad June 98
• Going Bananas - Indoor and Patio Gardening June 96
• Garden of Eatin' -American Horticulturist, October 95
• Smog garden (title?) - Back Home, Summer 95
• Invisible Jungle -Back Home, Summer 96
• Gardening in the Fire Zone -Published June 96 in American Gardener
• Thin that Fruit - To be published in June 97 issue of Flower and Garden Magazine

Other published work includes:

• Contributing Editor to Fruit Gardener magazine, writing feature articles on a variety of horticulture-related topics.
• Past contributer to Farmers Market Monthly newsletter
• Nine novels, mostly romance, gothic and one mystery. Publishers include Dell, Joseph Gallen Books, Tower and Avon. A few have been re-published in large print editions. Some of these have been translated into German, Danish, French, Spanish, and Afrikaans..
• Volunteer publicity work for non-profit organizations.

I like to write about topics that are either related to gardening/horticulture/botany (including topics covering current research) safety, or topics that offer an unusual, odd or bizarre slant to an everyday activity.

I want to pursue mystery novel writing. It would be especially fun to craft interactive works in New Media, using the principle of hyperlinking.
