I provide frank advice for your tough problems in my non-fiction. I write about tough, smart women in my fiction. My heroines have more guts than I do... Here's the more formal bio: I consult, speak, and write on managing high-technology product development. I've helped managers, teams, and organizations to become more effective by applying my pragmatic approaches to their issues of hiring, project management, risk management, and people management. I write a monthly email newsletter, the Pragmatic Manager. Please review back issues and sign yourself up. I'm known for my wacko sense of humor and frank approach. My clients appreciate both! I blog at Managing Product Development, Hiring Technical People, and Create an Adaptable Life. Please do join me there.
