About Me
I am a national author/editor on frugal and consumer matters (www.savvy-discounts.com) plus a digital artist (www.rickdoble.net) plus a writer on relationships and psychology (www.abuvivelove.com). This may seem like a strange combination but the frugal side lets me live a low cost life style that allows me to have the time and money to be a digital artist and the psychology side allows me to have healthy relationships. BACKGROUND: === AUTHOR: Savvy Discounts, published by a division of Penguin. An interview aired on MSNBC. Savvy-Discounts.com mentioned in Reader's Digest, Woman's Day, ABC-TV's TheView, etc. === MY INTERNET DIGITAL ART, rickdoble.net, has been reviewed by eDigitalPhoto a newsstand magazine (full page color), I was invited to the Capturing the Moving Mind conference in Moscow Russia and have been in a number of museums. === EDUCATION: M.A. Media, (1975); B.A English, Honors in Writing (1966); both from UNC-Chapel Hill, NC.
