At sixteen, Beth Evans was used to living a solitary life. "The Clones" were a group of perfectly pretty girls in school who preyed on Beth's insecurities. In order to survive Beth honed her self-deprecating humour and lived her life from the sidelines, observing others was less painful than participating in her own life. Beth observed one boy in particular, but she would never dare talk to him. Then one day, a chance meeting with one of the Clones resulted in an unlikely friendship and so began a new era for Beth that opened up musical opportunities and sexual possibilities ... but will her new-found happiness last or will disaster unfold? ** April 2016 - thank you for all your support and lovely comments. I'm really touched. Just wanted to announce that the sequel, "Chronicles of a Fat Wannabe" is coming soon!!!! **

It's a family secret that Katrien keeps under lock and key, one that could either be her saving grace or get her killed in the long run. Whether it's by the Soul Reapers hand or her own. ©2012 Madness Publishing The only thing I own is the character Katrien and the dialogue added in spots. Everything else belongs to the creator of 'Bleach'. Thank you!

I have been involved in some form of marketing in one form or another almost my entire life. My experience covers sales, sales training, being the Director of Marketing for two medium sized local businesses, as well as consulting with businesses throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. What I present here are articles that I have published, (on a now defunct web site), presentations, and my thoughts on marketing and business in general.
