: About Me

I won't jump right in and tell you my age, but you can probably guess. I will tell you however that I am a mother of eight and grandmother of fourteen. I have been married to a wonderful man for thirty two eclectic years. We live in a bedroom community just outside of Madison Wisconsin with three of our children ,one overly dramatic dachshund named Sam, and two lop eared rabbits,Phoebe and Oliver, so I hope you will forgive me if I don't always seem prolific, but life is what happened when I was making those plans.

Back in the day I was the only deaf student in my school. I never fit into the conventional education methods of teachers facing the black board, so I soon became a self-educator. I taught myself through a GED, and on to several corospondence courses which finally led me to writing. My love of the written word and its influence in our lives never fails to amuse me.

I am a Wisconsin author published in several small press newsletters and magazines. More recently published two short child rens storys in The Stories for Children emagazine.

Taught myself through GED, and corospondence courses which led me to writing.

Business > Marketing How to select a PR firm

1 of 3

An effective Public relations firm will treat you like kin. Foremost is credibility, then long term advertisements that resonates well with the current trends, and finally cost that fits your budget. It's imperative that you choose a PR firm willing to nurture a lasting relationship. Someone who can carry your business through the dry spells with innovative concepts. And believe me the dry spells are bound to come in this day and age where big companies are being held at the mercy of unknown fiscal wizardry.
