Introducing the Debut Release in the Big Sister Guides Series!

"Your Big Sister's Guide to Surviving College" (Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing, Inc.) is an insightful map to help girls navigate the journey through life as a college student. told in a "big sister to little sister" manner.
About ten years ago, I wrote a freshman year college survival guide for my little sister that I presented to her when she moved into her dorm room for the first time. This amateur, Kinko's produced spiral bound book contained advice on every aspect and scenario of what a young girl can expect in college and how to handle herself. My material was largely based on the experiences and sometimes the mistakes made by me and my friends. I recently resurrected the piece to bring it to all college-bound young ladies.
I remember what i t was like having to learn the ‘hard way’ about life on campus and life in general. For many girls, going away to college is literally a crash course on becoming a woman and being completely responsible for yourself. My goal is to ‘soften the blow’ a bit and help young ladies learn life’s lessons armed with common sense and a little big sister wisdom.

Good Day Atlanta - My First Live TV Experience

This morning, I was a guest on our local Fox channel's morning show, Good Day Atlanta. My book and I have been starving for local attention, and finally we got it! It was a lot of fun but it went by so fast! I did tons of preparation over the last few days for a 3 minute segment! I purchased a new outfit, got contact lenses (well, I was going to do that anyway), got a manicure and pedicure (again, that was already in the plans for this week), and brooded over what I was going to say. I wanted to tallk about my sister, get my book message out, plug A Book Is Born, and if there was time, get in a little blurb about coaching... yes, I was planning to do all of that in 3 minutes! No such luck for the latter two on my list... I did have to let Suchita (the hostess) talk too, right? Kidding aside, being on the show was one of the best things to happen to me since this book came about. Curtis and Kennedy were there to cheer me on. Kennedy charmed the pants off of everyone there! Their desire to see her again could be my "in" for ABIB and future YBS Guides! She's a natural publicist! I received a bunch of text messages from friends before and after the show. The staff was great... they made me feel at home. They said I was a natural and couldn't believe this was my first live TV appearance. Well I most certainly hope it is not the last!
