My Blog Circle:

I am an author, film maker, reporter, stand up comic, but mostly...I'm a Tiara wearing Goddess! I have two children, 18, and 26, who for the most part, drive me insane but I love them anyway. Besides, I missed my opportunity of throwing them out with the bath water a long, long time ago.

And yes, they still both live at home, thank you very much! All I can say is thank God for ESTROGEN patches!

I've been married for 33 years, yes to the same man! He's always the butt of my jokes but he loves me in spite of it. Why he puts up with me is beyond me?

You can follow this link below to take you to my book website where you can find out more about all the books I've written so far.

my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Basically I've arrived at where I am now because I've never lost my ability to laugh out loud during the worst of times. I've discovered that I have more stamina than I though possible. I understand now that I can do or be anyone I want to be but I like being me!

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

Back in my 40's I was dealing with a situation that nearly killed me. Instead of dying I wrote about the trials and tribulations of my survival. The end result became my first novel called:

"Dancing With The Devil" by Jacqueline Brown

, which is now in the top 100 e-books on Kindle

It is available at all on line retailers. If you've ever dealt with addiction this book will certainly hit home. It's about tying a knot at the end of a rope and holding on for dear life.

The Sequel "Recovery's A Bitch...as if menopause alone wasn't bad enough!" is also in the top 100 e-books on Kindle.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

First of all I will still have my beautiful dark hair because grey is not an option for me. Secondly, I will have several more novels under my belt and will make enough money so that my husband can finally relax. Thirdly, I will probably have grandchildren by then and I will enjoy them with my children.

Hey Girl,

You made it! You kick ass! You Rock! You've crossed the line where you can do anything you want. Go for everything. Opportunity is knocking every day...go open the fricken door!

my role models

My mother because she gives me strength.

And Erma Bombeck, my angel mentor. 

God Erma, I hope they have books in Heaven!
