About the writer

After spending nearly 30 years in the financial industry (stock market and housing market) this writer found herself laid off and declared legally blind.  As a telecommuter, this writer learned the tricks of staying on schedule while working from home. However, once laid off, the challenge was to find new work.  Because the financial markets were in a shambles, other opportunities needed exploration.

While searching for potential work-at-home opportunities, several were examined, tested and ultimately, failed.  This led to testing outsourcing through online sources of work at home opportunities. Initially, this worked out very well, providing a basis for what is today a rewarding and satisfying full time writing career.
