Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Single Baby Boomers exploring the world of Internet dating.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Profileactics: A Guide for the Prevention of Ill-Conceived Personal Ads combines lessons in self-awareness and language with generous doses of wisdom and wit. The result is an invaluable tool for Baby Boomers exploring the world of Internet dating.

Hundreds of profile excerpts are used to demonstrate the often misguided efforts of Boomers looking for love. Some are hilarious, some sad and some are just strange, but all illustrate the power of words.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I am a psychotherapist in private practice for 25 years in Connecticut.

My first book, From Ex-Wife to Exceptional Life: A Woman’s Journey through Divorce won an honorable mention award from the Independent Publishers Association. It has helped thousands of women recover from divorce and find joy in their new lives.

When they began dating again, their stories of internet dating became the inspiration for this book. Profileactics assists the reader in developing a more discerning eye, not only about what not to write but also about whom not to date.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: The book focuses on the importance of an impeccably written profile. Potential suitors have literally thousands of choices. Without a good first impression there will be more rejection than connection. The book is informative and the material is approachable, upbeat and well-organized. It is a fun read!

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Profileactics will help single Baby Boomers craft a better profile and assist them in finding the love they want; it will challenge the reader to look more deeply into themselves—beyond childhood dreams and stereotypical expectations of gender and relationship. This self-reflection will result in a heightened self-awareness and a clearer picture of what they long for in a relationship.

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Both adult and young adult.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Jenny Roberts yearns to escape her small hometown of Paris, Idaho and accomplish something remarkable in the world. She has many dreams but the only thing standing in her way is an unpleasant memory from her past, which haunted her since childhood. She must learn to forgive before she can choose which dream to follow. Meanwhile a legendary ten-foot grizzly by the name of Old Half Paw is seen in the area and its boldness has frightened the community.

Q: Why am I the best person to write this book?
A: This book is about dreams and the importance of following our dreams. I have given personal ancestral experiences to my characters in this family saga to add some reality to this historical fiction novel. I believe that real family experiences bring a story to life.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: It’s different because I’ve used my own family experiences in this book along with the legend of Old Ephraim, the ten-foot grizzly bear as a sub-plot.

This legendary ten-foot grizzly really existed in the southern Idaho region. After much research, I used every detail of this grizzly to add a little adventure to the story.

I blend romance, adventure, history, humor, and courage into this family saga, using emotion to bring my characters to life.

A reviewer wrote: “Jenny’s Dream tells a beautiful story that incorporates the value of loyalty, love, family and forgiveness into it. I also enjoyed how the author put real experiences, taken from her family and friends, into the plot. This is a great touch. Jenny’s Dream is a wholesome novel that will be enjoyed by family members of all ages who would enjoy a great historical romance. I think this series is destined to be a classic.”

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Jenny is 20 years old and has three dreams. Her first dream is to accomplish something remarkable in the world.

She has read about the courageous women who forged their own paths and accomplished a lot in their lives. They were self-reliant, daring and determined women such as Susan B. Anthony who fought for Equal Rights, an important part of American history. This was Jenny’s Dream, to make a difference in the world. This is something I believe we all want to do in our lives… to make a difference!

Her second dream is to become a journalist. Writing is second nature to her ever since she was a child and this is her greatest desire. In fact, moving to Houston, Texas sounds quite intriguing to her.

Her third dream is to find a most wonderful, down to earth man to spend the rest of her life with: the man of her dreams! Little does she know that her kindred friend, Will Jones, has gradually fallen in love with her. She hasn’t known him very long but he instantly became a kindred spirit, someone she could talk to and express her inner most feelings. There is one thing standing in her way of focusing on these dreams. She must learn to forgive and put her past behind her. This story is about accomplishing one’s dreams and the miracle of forgiveness.

Jenny says, “Dreams are an important part of life, and without them, life would be so dull. If we can envision it, then I believe it can be accomplished.” Lucy Maud Montgomery touched me as a writer and I loved her books. She strongly believed in dreams. Montgomery once wrote: “While solitude with dreams is glorious, solitude without them has few charms.” That’s how I feel. I believe that dreams are an important part of life.

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Ladies 11+ who love style, fashion, entertaining and decorating.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Mean girls grown up–it is a witty novel that is also beautifully illustrated much like The Official Preppy Handbook.

Welcome to the world of Social Climbers…
where the society season kicks off at the opening night of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Main Line ladies compete to get their names on committees, invitations and their picture in the newspaper.

SC Elizabeth Quinn is a young lady determined to make it to the Philadelphia A-list. Each invitation (or snub) is a benchmark of her struggle. While Elizabeth is a SC, she lacks the ferocity of the ladies she will encounter. She’ll see schoolyard cruelty, just polished up for the grown-up world and now finely honed into small humiliations.

Friends from The Agnes Irwin School and Lake Forest College, Kitty and Elizabeth, are “mean girls” grown-up. They use their clique of friends and polished possessions to pick away at each other’s Social Standing. Sadly, their anger stemming from a boy they both liked in High School and neither married keeps them from seeing what is truly important in life.

Follow Elizabeth to afternoon tea and photo-ops. See if she chooses the right children’s names and the proper label to wear and display. Find out how she learns the difference between Jimmy Choo and Kate Spade, the language of nicknames, when it’s alright to brag about a bargain or wear costume jewelry, what to monogram (not toilet paper), who to idolize (Babe Paley) and what constitutes taste in music, nail polish.

Read about husbands who are an asset and the husbands who are a handicap. In the SC world, marriage and motherhood and a comfortable income are indispensable as a proper pedigree. For Elizabeth, the honeymoon was simply breathing space before the real work began.

Elizabeth strives to be a socialite but also something bigger. But what?

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I have sat on over 30+ charity committees.

Beth Dunn grew up and attended Etiquette school on Philadelphia’s Main Line. By the time she was 12, she’d learned that white gloves had nothing to do with the weather. At 18, she’d changed from a private girl’s school uniform into a debutante ball gown.

After college, (which included a semester in Zimbabwe) she worked in publicity and public relations representing Philadelphia and national clients.

As a married lady, she discovered that while ground rules for social “acceptance” may have changed since her school days, the ladies definitely hadn’t. Sick of cliques, cruelties and mean girls grown up, Beth Dunn was motivated to write about them.

A Philadelphia Junior Leaguer, awaiting membership in the D.A.R., serving on 20+ charity committee’s, she currently lives in Mays Landing, New Jersey with her husband and two young sons.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: It isn’t about New York City Society–but rather Philadelphia, the reader can escape into the world of Social Climbing.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: It’s fun!
