Author of 3 blogs about Russia (OneShoeForSale.com), Small Business (SmallBusinessOracle.com), and a Collection of all her writings and opinions (Penultimate-Portfolio.com) Julie is a literary loose cannon. Her four year stint in Siberia from 1992 - 1996 as a business adviser with the first Peace Corps Contingency to Russia provides the backdrop for a rich source of narratives about the Russian people, their culture, and politics during these tectonic times following the collapse of the Soviet Union. As a CPA, business owner (software development, publishing, and small business broker), she dispenses commonsensical advice designed specifically for SME's (Small Business Enterprises). She understands both the pressures of making payroll and the exhilaration of a successful business. In addition to her writings and posts from these subjects, she 'muses' about White Supremists, how to buy on eBay, national and international politics, and just about anything that strikes her fancy. (ahh, the power of a blog).
