Summary
It would be rare to find another writer with my track record of success. I have an interesting slant on even the most mundane of products and situations. My long history as a book writer, a television personality, a web designer, a magazine writer and a fine artist present a person who will deliver a creative package few others possess. Yes, I am an older woman but to have accomplished what I have done in my life has taken a lifetime of work.
