About Me
My superpower is to ‘articulate the invisible’ and to ‘see the gap’ in what’s missing and what’s needed.
I’ve got 30+ years publishing experience, even though I spent 10 years leading transformational experts in business and branding. I rebranded to Goddess55 Publishing when I decided to get back to my purpose.
I ‘retired’ from business coaching so I could dedicate my efforts 100% on book mentoring and publishing. I know how painful it is to have a vision but not the right support to help make it a reality.
I am that person. I’ve always had a start to finish approach, with many skills and talents to back it up. I’m a writer, a ghostwriter, and I’ve always said that editing is my soul gift – but it’s not very sexy now is it?
I’m dedicated to providing premium services, including developmental editing and ghostwriting, formatting and design, and help with publishing on Amazon – or having books printed the traditional way – at a print house – to sell at conferences and events.
My publishing experience includes books, magazines, newspapers and newsletters. At its essence, Goddess55 was designed to help women (and men, too) share their learned and earned wisdom with the world, and create recurring income for life!

Yo
While working with Carol Ann, I not only published my first book, I realized quantum leaps in my personal growth.
I started working with Carol Ann to write the book I’d wanted to write for more than 15 years. I am so excited that my book was published in less than 6 months while working with her! I then worked with Carol Ann in her mentorship program. I have worked with plenty of coaches and mentors before, both in my personal and in my professional life. However, Carol Ann’s mentorship style guided me to get better and quicker results. Finally, her expertise enabled me to feel empowered as I moved into growing my practice.
