Several of her scripts are under option to various producers and agents.  Mega Productions has signed RICH AND DEAD and is in pre-production. 

She has also recent recently set up a film and TV production company, Changemakers Productions, with offices in Santa Monica and Oakland, California to package and distribute scripts based on her scripts.  The company is working on packaging three scripts with other co-producers.  These scripts are FLARE UP, NEW IDENTITY, and UNBALANCED. We have three directors attached and are now casting for UNBALANCED, with filming planned for Spring 2008.

Some of her recent books and articles focus on work issues, creativity, business management, marketing, resolving conflict, and change. She is a speaker, workshop/seminar leader, and organizational consultant to business, government, and non-profit organizations. She has spoken to top executives, managers, professionals, and the general public.    

Her column on relationships in work and business has been in a dozen papers, including the Oakland Tribune and L.A. Downtown News.  The column was expanded into a book which was published as A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR WORKING WITH HUMANS by AMACOM in 2004.  A follow-up book, A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR WORKING WITH BAD BOSSES, was published in November 2005 and A SURVIVAL GUIDE TO MANAGING EMPLOYEES FROM HELL was published in 2006.  These were all the result of an initial e-query to AMACOM.  She sold two books with an agent obtained through an e-query: A COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO PARTY PLAN SELLING to Alpha Book published in December 2005, and WHEN I GROW UP, I'D LIKE TO BE A STURGEON: And Other Wrong Things that Kids Write to Sasquatch Books, published in September 2006.  Two new books: 30 DAYS TO A MORE POWERFUL MEMORY and DISAGREEMENTS, DISPUTES, AND ALL-OUT WAR were published in 2007 with AMACOM, and two additional books have recently been signed -- ENJOY! 101 WAYS TO HAVE MORE FUN IN YOUR WORK AND LIFE (out in August 2008) and WANT IT, SEE IT, GET IT (out in the Spring 2009).
