In The Author's Corner With Etienne

With a degree from St. Mary College, California in English and a minor in Communications, Ms. Lorena Bathey, used her creative abilities and marketing skills to write and promote her memoir, Happy Beginnings: How I Became My Own Fairy Godmother. Creating a brand from this book, she established a conference for women called, The Love Fest.  She planned and promoted this event for two years. Her marketing for this brand led a Senior Executive Producer from the Oprah Show to seek her out.  Changing her writing format to writing novels and starting her publishing company, Lorena B Books, Ms. Bathey integrated the work she'd done with Happy Beginnings by creating strong female characters throughout her writing. Ms. Bathey has spoken for conferences, women's groups, had her own radio show, and promoted self-publishing throughout the ensuing years. She is currently working on her new novel and has three historical fiction books in the writing queue. You can find her at www.LorenaBBooks.com
