She has worked as an editor, feature writer, advertising representative, technical writer, ghost writer, trainer, collections agent and bookkeeper. Those roles often overlapped.

• Technical communication (developed collection of Procedures for Harris County Tax Office)
• Community and civic work, including fund-raising letters and invitations
• Corporate communications (employee newsletters)
• "strategic" and political (10 essays published in daily newspaper)

The wealthy excitement seekers booked the nights in the decrepit old house on the river bank. They arrived with champagne and plans to be ghost busters. The locals watched the visitors leave, shaken and bewildered. What happens in this Louisiana parish stays in the parish.
