JOURNALISM As a freelance journalist, I have written over 600 articles for websites, magazines, and newspapers in America and around the world, most notably the UK and Australia, concentrating on popular culture, entertainment, celebrity profiles, beauty, fashion, health, parenting, and public interest issues. Online Journalism Although I concentrate on writing books now, I am fortunate to have a brilliant editor, Michael Gross, at Avenue magazine. I've done two recent cover stories for him: the lovely Sailor Cook, and the divine Ann and Mick Jones. See the links below. The wonderful Rene Syler and I collaborated on her book, Good Enough Mother, which was published in 2008, and she has since turned the concept into a brilliant, game-changing website and brand. I write a monthly beauty column [Click here] for GEM, where I spotlight my inner beauty junkie while writing up many unique and useful beauty products (and yes, I test them all!) I was one of the Special Correspondents for the website, www.truthatlas.com, whose motto was "Discover Who's Changing Your World." I profiled a lot of fascinating people and also line-edited most of the features, but unfortunately the owner pulled the site with no warning to all of us who worked so hard to make this site unique. You can find it in the Wayback Engine. More of my beauty writing can be found at www.mom.me. Just put my name in the search button on the top left. This is a great site for moms of all ages. Chicago-based film critic Ray Pride and I were the "Two on One" online columnists for the then-fairly-new website, www.nerve.com. These weekly back-and-forths weren't quite so easy as you'd think, back in the days when the dinosaurs roamed aka dial-up. Still, we had a blast doing these and it was a shame that our editor left and the idea was killed.
