I can deal with insanity, work through disaster, excel in multi-tasking, and meet deadlines with a smile. In the last five years, I sold my first Guidebook three times nearly, completed a wonderful Picture Book, and finished the third rewrite of my courageous Novel. A German publisher is interested in my fun Children’s Book Series, I have developed an international and multi-cultural animated Children’s TV-Series that has entered its pitching phase, and an action-adventure Holiday Family Comedy Screenplay is in progress. I work hard and effectively, I always look for the new and the surprising, I brought my multi tasking skills to perfection (I typed the novel with one hand while a baby slept on the other), and I polish until ideas stand strong. I listen, I have patience and tenacity (call me now: 001.310.985 0204), and I learned how to inspire, and satisfy the most demanding clients in the world -– my two children.
