About the author
Rodeo Carlson tried not to be a writer. At one time, she sold magazine subscriptions door to door, and she has worked as a telemarketer, reservation agent, and customer service manager. After military service came college, and then a curvy career that included work in human resources, contingency planning, and higher education. Years after earning her M.B.A., she decided the best job for her didn’t require shoes. Today she writes from her home office. Shoes are rarely worn.
