Muse & the Marketplace 2018

BS

Beverly Simon

A psychic named Gladys told me I’d write three books before I “go to spirit.” That was in 1980, and finally I‘m clear what these are. I have the scenes and structure for my novel, memoir, and how-to manual scribbled in notebooks and typed and filed. Meanwhile I racked up writing and producing credits for films and a share of director of communications gigs.
