Her company, Creative Freelancers Inc., operated successfully for over two decades in the center of New York City. It was the first agency to connect business with freelance artists and writers. In 1997, the agency evolved to freelancers.com, the first agency on the internet. She is now semi-retired.The author lived a true adventure tale and wrote an insightful page-turner about life, love, and women triumphing over obstacles. An early encounter with a Fulbright Scholar from India on his way to Cornell University, led to a palm reading with predictions that came true. A late marriage to an extroverted older man with three teenage daughters and giving birth to two children of her own captures complex women then and now, with humor and candor. The author holds a BFA in Advertising from Syracuse University.view less
