I'm the author of 22 plus entertainment/celebrity books, including Timeless TV Trivia Quiz and Random Facts, Pop 'n' Rock Trivia Quiz: '60s to '80s, The Superheroes Movies Trivia Quiz Book and other entertainment/celebrity-themed tribute books, The Elton John Scrapbook, Starman: A Tribute to Bowie, The Cher Scrapbook and The Essential Jim Carrey. Before that time, I was an entertainment editor for celebrity specials on Elvis, The Royals, Michael Jackson, and Leonard Nimoy, my last tribute magazine before my newsstand publishing company closed. In addition, I was also editor-in-chief of teen, rock, and country music magazines. Consecutively. I continued writing celebrity tribute books while I was a magazine editor.

Why Did you write a book on The Golden Girls?

I saw other extensive information books on the show. I didn't want to do a reference guide where I would have to explain the references or one of those books that breaks down each character on the show. That had already been done. It's not what I had in mind. Besides being passionate about the show and the characters (not so much the lives of the actors that played them), I wanted to do a short, fun, informative tribute book that featured all the necessary elements: a quiz, facts, straight quotes from the characters, and a list of collectible memorabilia. My background is in tribute books and magazine specials. I have an agent, but I am also allowed to sell directly, and I knew BearManor published entertainment books and understood my passion for writing them. I have two other entertainment-based books with the company, and that's good enough for me.(less)

The Bishop Sheen I Remember

A few days ago I watched Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's beatification on EWTN, and it took me back to my childhood in Rochester, New York. Thousands of people gathered in St. Louis to celebrate, which shows how Fulton Sheen's influence still reaches people today. For many, this ceremony is a major event in the Catholic Church's history. For me, it's something much more personal.

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe
