Hey... Rudy approached me when she first proposed writing her book, and had already made arrangements with Future Horizons for its publication. Wayne Gilpin "snagged a good one" and the book is as apt and current today as when it first came out, about a year ago. A very good, common-sense read. Rudy's a good writer! N.

Hi ..she's an excellent writer, indeed. I have looked at a couple of her

books and am impressed with Ms. Simone's style of writing.
