Thanks to a few mean nuns my irreverent nature bloomed into full-blown rebellion, and I became addicted to fun and its by-product, trouble. Although I did not go to an imaginary prison--like James Frey--I went to a real Catholic school, then on to college. Armed with a journalism degree, but no ammunition, I opted for a career in packaging sales. I became a born again writer in my thirties (after the divorce). My motivation comes from reading, especially other humor writers. I've also been kind of a comedy groupie. Ellen DeGeneres is my favorite (replacing Dennis Miller around the turn of the century).

In addition to my book being chosen in the top ten in my category at the NYBookfestival 2007. My work has appeared in the Erma Bombeck Workshop Newsletter and Stickyourneckout.com. I have also been chosen as author of the month at Wordshack and several other websites. I was featured (along with my good friend,Susan Reinhardt) at Girlfriend's weekend-an event created by beautyandthebook.com I also did a monthly radio segment reviewing beach books (and beaches).

My beach party/table dancing/book tour officially concluded two weeks ago, but I will still do an occasional bar signing (they don't take half your money like bookstores, and often people will give you a twenty and tell you to "keep the change and buy yourself a drink." Really. On the serious side I have been teaching a self-esteem workshop to teen girls, in conjunction with The Boys & Girls Club.

The Art Of Table Dancing: Escapades Of An Irreverent Woman
a wild ride, an Erma Bombeck story, tour photos, including table-top dancing, podcasts, and an appearance on The Jerry Springer show--And of course, the book.
