Biography

I am a book ghost writer or book ghostwriter with over 45 years of freelance writing and editing experience. It's been off and on, over time, and I began ghost writing in earnest in 2003. I began sending work out to a team of writers and others in 2005, and have been offering our general services as affordable, inexpensive ghost writers, editors, marketers, publishers and other related writing field workers to all kinds of ghostwriting clients and book authors.

Our books by other people have been listed on the Amazon and New York Times fiction and nonfiction bestseller lists. I'm directly and indirectly responsible, by being an influencer, for the production of some 500 or more such books. Now I'm trying to take Smashwords by gentle storm. The Rainbow Horizon: A Tale of Goofy Chaos is my magnum opus, and the first novel i have published under my own name. I'm offering it for free now, while hoping people will enjoy it and spread the word about a possible ongoing series. It's the world's first truly multicultural American humor novel.

Ten Sample Books that Ghost Writer, Inc. team members "edited" for author clients:

The Boys of Birmingham - the very first self published book entered into The Library of Congress

Miracles from Heaven - about cheating death through God's intervention

Burning Down Walls to Build Bridges - by two sister Miss America and Miss Universe candidates

Torn in Two: Valor of a US Marine - by an Afghan-born American Jarhead

Simon Says by Simon Lewenberg - by a ten-camp Polish-Jewish Holocaust survivor

Ice Therapy by Harry Thompson - by a therapist with a great healing method

This is Your Time, Rwanda - by a Canadian feminist working for African human rights

Razor's Edge - by an Australian soldier of fortune in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran

The Antichrist Version 666 - about the end of the world and Cydonian Mars

On Becoming NaughtABimbeaux - a how-to book on how to find your handsome prince

And many more book manuscripts, TV scripts, film screenplays, music, lyrics and soundtracks, and business, academic, legal, medical and other documents, some 500 and counting. Most of which are under strict NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) so I cannot mention them outside of author circles without their written permission.

Cheers! Be sure to email or call me about YOUR wonderful new projects.

Smashwords Interview

What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Coming up with something odd and original that nobody has ever thought of before, that might be entertaining in some eerie manner...if people broke down and read what I write, without being overly critical or going, through their empty mouths and minds, "Gee, women don't write like that. Why isn't this a nice Young Adult novel, or a children's book?" I never do understand that sort of thing. I'm married and have one kid. That's all I ever wanted. Hopefully, someday, I get a grandkid or two, but if not, I'm happy somehow. Somehow. I hope my daughter finds a way. Sincerely. But I'm not a YA writer or a girl who pens children's stories. They don't sell that well, anyway. The market is flooded with female writers who think "children's books, that's all I can write." Really. So I'm not exactly a feminist, and some men say, I might be a bit confused. Since the Bible was half written by womenfolk, and etc. came down the line later...Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" for example, Alice Walker's "The Color Purple," all kinds of stuff by women writers...YA stuff? Well, I'd like to write something like that, but I feel rather beat to it. By J. D. Salinger, a guy, and also by A Wrinkle in Time, which was written by a gal. So...I shall think about it.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
The fact there are books at all. I've read everything from the backs of cereal boxes, every act by white western man I could grab including Hitler's stuff yet, every comedy act I could find that was published as a book, including Dorothy Parker and all white western female writers I could grab, then all the black people wow stuff I could find that was around - and within easy reach, and uh, stuff by and about Mexican Americans, the Irish, the English, the French, the Russians, Native America including Canada, Australia, down in the Boondocks, lesbians and gays, ordinary people, dogs and cats, birds, and come to think of it 90% of it was actually movies and TV shows. Swell! You know my dirty little secret. Anyhoo, I decided I'd better be a book ghostwriter and oppose idiocy by doing something innovative. While selling somewhat, realistically speaking. And see what happens when you are limited in the amount of money you are allowed by circumstances to ever make.

Now that I'm settled, I must reflect on my past as a happy-go-lucky single. How can I forget the many times I've misled myself into a man's loving arms, and how much I loved every minute of it? Why, I squirm as if caught in a velvet trap...well, I could, but my second husband is standing right behind me and might ask me what I'm sitting on. I loved my first husband, a wonderfully funny Jewish man.
