Accomplishments
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 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).
