Her professional background is in technology. She writes about women inclined to move fast and break things—brave, unapologetic, independent thinkers.
She began her career in the music business managing rock bands on the East Coast as they navigated the transition from analog to digital equipment and instruments. She moved on to marketing communications working for the largest bookstore in Boston as they migrated their advertising from paper-based to computer-based systems. Then she caught the internet wave working for big tech companies and joined the dotcom boom in the early days of the worldwide web.
In 2001, she quit the corporate world, studied agriculture, and learned to farm. After her husband died, she farmed chickens, goats and cows, living with her beloved dog on a dead end gravel road for seven years before she took off on a road trip that landed her in the Pacific Northwest where she lives today.

Parts of it made me laugh so hard I almost fell off the chair. Best is witty and speaks to those of us who are over 50 (or 60) in language that we understand. Very relatable.

I have literally read this book a dozen times. First when I wrote each blog post. Then when I compiled the posts for this book. Then when I proofed the book. Writing takes a lot of reading. In fact, I would say writing is probably more reading than writing. But I enjoy every minute of it. Hope you do, too.
