Author of the Marriage Pact trilogy and both a wife and mother of two lively boys, Manda Pullen shares the secrets of balancing a career as a writer of Rom Coms and technical material, as well as mentoring and coaching aspiring authors. An astute businesswoman, she has been traditionally and self-published. Much of Manda's understanding of human nature comes from her experience as a therapist. So, yes, she's a super woman. And she's a blast to interview.

Lisa Weldon, author of Twenty Pieces: A Memoir, discusses how she found her way back from financial and personal devastation. At 58, Lisa's marriage ended. She lost the house where her children grew up, and her career was at a standstill. Determined to reclaim her life, she traveled to New York City, where she chronicled her journey through Manhattan using the latest media technology. Not only did she reinvent herself professionally, she discovered what she needed to face to make the changes she wanted. 

Her memoir is a testament to what women can do when they give themselves time and permission.
