In the 1980s, I ran a nationwide letter writing business, Love Letters Anonymous, and generated hundreds of placements in print, radio and television, including The New York Times, Newsday, US Magazine, CBS TV Morning News with Diane Sawyer, WJZ TV with Oprah Winfrey, and more. Please see below for list of publicity.
During the 1990s, I wrote hundreds of collateral pieces and direct mail brochures for Newbridge Communication's educational book clubs. After several years as a senior copywriter, I was promoted to book club director and purchased wide-ranging supplementary materials for teachers and speech and language pathologists.
When I moved to the suburbs with my family in 1998, I began a career as a freelance journalist and have written health and parenting stories for magazines in New York and New Jersey.
I graduated magna cum laude from Brooklyn College with a B.A. in English.
I'm working on a memoir entitled, The Lady Cyrano, based on Love Letters Anonymous, the highly publicized business I ran from 1981 to 1983 in which I composed love (and hate) letters for a nationwide clientele. The extraordinary drama of ordinary people's lives never ceases to amaze me. Each chapter opens with an excerpt from a letter and features vignettes that will make readers laugh, cry, or both. As The Lady Cyrano, I helped make an indifferent spouse jealous, brought lesbian lovers together, mended broken hearts, persuaded embittered spouses to grant alimony and child custody, brought lonely singles together, and more. I've also included narratives about my wild and crazy romantic adventures which parallel my clients' love lives.
But here's the twist: one of my clients kills a lover and the reader has to figure out whodunit. All will be revealed at the conclusion.
