I first met her (Ellen Blackman) years ago at a bombed out Holiday Inn Hotel located on ‘Sniper Alley’ in Sarajevo at the height of the Bosnian conflict. Despite the fact we had only a few hours notice with heavy shelling, no electricity and frigid temperatures, Blackman managed to arrange a press conference at the hotel for me with representatives from the world’s major news organizations. She worked with our office in Sarajevo on some very critical projects and was tireless in bringing positive public relations to the Bosnian cause. She gets results, even against the odds. We were proud to contribute photos for her book, "Harvest in the Snow."

For many years I have been reporting for American Media Inc. and their various tabloids as well as for NBC & ABC TV News Affiliates in Washington D.C. and Associated Press. I had the pleasure of working with Ellen Blackman when I was assigned by my editor to write a full page spread in National Enquirer on an expert that she had pitched to us. I have yet to come across such stellar performance by a public relations company. I was so impressed by her professionalism and broad thinking that I now have the company managing two of my own upcoming books as well as several public relations projects. www.finalcurtain-memoir.com
