Hello! I'm pleased and excited to tell you about the publication of my new book on management: Leading Ladies, How to Manage Like a Star. I collaborated with a friend, Jan McCarthy, whose years of corporate experience (coupled with mine) have produced a lot of experiential knowledge. It's available on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com. You can also order it through B&N retail stores, and receive it in 2-3 days.
I've put my novel, Lighting Out, on Amazon.com for Kindle. I am thinking about self-publishing, but for now, if you have one of these terrific optical readers, give me a try!
Welcome To My World!
--Europe, 2005
I've been a dancer, a wife, a mother, a teacher, and a writer. I'm still almost all those things, but the writer has taken center stage in my life. When I was in corporate communications for a large food wholesaler, I used to say I wrote the equivalent of a novel every three months. (I wrote and produced newsletters, magazines, video scripts, executive letters and sundry other missives. It was a big company with a small Communications department.) As every writer knows, when you write for a living, you don't have much time for your own creative writing. Now that I am not working full time, I have the leisure to write memoirs, short stories, novels and non-fiction, and believe me, this is more satisfying to my soul.
I am constantly learning, not only from my dear family and friends and students, but also from fellow writers, who so generously share their expertise and talents with me. I'm struck by the goodwill apparent in the writers' groups to which I belong, as well as the seminars and workshops I've attended. Not all the arts boast such benevolence. We write because we must, I think, because we need to put down on paper all these feelings and emotions and sorrows in order to understand ourselves better. At least for me, it makes my life real to see it in black and white.
On this website, you'll find some pieces I've written. I plan to change these intermittently, so - as my late husband would have said - Stay Tuned.
