from the American College, USA. [LUTCF].

Table, the Premier Association for Financial Professionals, [MDRT] six times in
a row.

knowledge in new areas which prepared her for writing.

cancer which almost killed her. Miraculously, she survived after flying to
Miami for treatment.
She wrote a book I AM CANCER FREE eight years
after her near-death experience, and it became a best seller. The book won an
award in Readers Favorite International in 2018 in the category Health and
Fitness.
Thereafter, she continued writing and has
published 52 books in multi-genres to date. Among her publications are six
anthologies and three magazines for the How to Write for Success Literary
Network that she founded.
Her superb writing skills won her several
literary awards in the USA, Peru, Kazakhstan, Seychelles, Nigeria, India,
Romania, Argentina, Ukraine, Morocco, Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia,

the world.

from Readers Favorite International, and many attained the No 1 bestseller
