Her journeys took her not only to places of interest and excitement but also to those that required endurance and strength. Mixing with the various cultures created a hands on knowledge that she incorporates into her books. To her credits, Sylvia has written fashion articles for the Los Angeles Times as well as writing script runs for fashion shows. She has created lay-outs for various advertising agencies and numerous free-lance projects. Making her home in the Ozarks by a very large lake, Sylvia enjoys outdoor activities as well as traveling and, of course, writing books that are, like the life she has led, filled with unexpected endings and exciting events.view less
