Suzy Prudden

<p>SUZY PRUDDEN made her stage debut in a dance recital at the age of two as the lead elephant in a long line of two-year olds in a rendition of &ldquo;The Circus.&rdquo; It was love at first performance. Suzy never again saw a stage she didn&rsquo;t want to be on &ndash; preferably in the center.</p><p>As a successful entrepreneur, she founded Suzy Prudden Studios &ndash; the first, largest and most successful toddler exercise school in New York City, a business that took her to 13 books, twenty national tours, The Today Show, Good Morning America and Ophra, along with hundreds of magazines and newspapers. She next started coaching her business hypnosis clients in how to grow their companies. On the way, she and her sister Joan Meijer-Hirschland wrote &ldquo;Your Itty Bitty&reg; Weight Loss Book&rdquo; and discovered a unique blend of publishing and business opportunity.</p><p>Together they formed the Itty Bitty Publishing Community which publishes Itty Bitty&reg; Books &ndash; 15 Simple Informative Steps by Experts in Fields of All Kinds and matches them with opportunities for marketing that helps their writers grow their businesses as well as sell their books. At the same time she is developing her very successful workshop &ldquo;Money Mind Mastery&rdquo; &ndash; soon to be an Itty Bitty&reg; Book.</p><p>JOAN MEIJER-HIRSCHLAND has been co-author for SuzyPrudden&rsquo;s last five books. They have discovered that the only way they can work effectively together is on a phone and more recently Skype. Working in the same room is hopelessly distracting. Several years ago, at the age of 70, Meijer discovered that she could write erotic short stories &ndash; Audiences sit up in their chairs and lean forward when she rolls onto a stage in her wheel chair and informs them she writes erotica under the a pen name &ndash; Joan Russell.&nbsp;</p><p>She also writes medical thrillers under the pen name John Russell, alternative histories and non-fiction under Joan Meijer and books about writing and Itty Bitty&reg; Books under Joan Meijer-Hirschland</p>
