I have worked in book publishing, public relations, and marketing for three decades, having helped thousands of authors, from first-time, self-published writers to New York Times best-selling authors, including Dr. Ruth, Stephen Covey, Ken Blanchard, Mark Victor Hansen, and Comedian George Wallace. A published author and an award-winning blogger, I have spoken before Book Expo America and numerous writers conferences, including ASJA, IBPA, Thrillerfest, Romantic Times, Cape Cod's Willamette Writers Conference and Sarah Lawrence Writers Institute . The Writer, IBPA's The Independent, and other industry publications have published my articles on book marketing. I love and passionately respect the written word and hold free speech to be our most cherished right . Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I lived in South Florida for seven early adult years, but now reside in Westchester. I love books, dogs, kids, chocolate, the movies, and the Mets...in that order.
