In June 2021, after that nasty pandemic was mostly over, and after I was fired from Human Resources Inc in Florida, I moved to Reno, Nevada and I created my own business to edit books.
Since I had been working as a woman since early 2018, it was much easier to start my own firm. I have enjoyed being self-employed ever since I had four years of it in California.
In Florida, my blackish brown hair was starting to turn gray, so I went to a professional on Sixth Street to have my hair shortened a bit and dyed to a more natural, lighter brown.
I've always been so lucky that I have had my own hair through 49 years as a man and all my years as a woman.
I chose Reno because it had the Truckee River running right through the town and the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains on all sides of the valley.
I had several clients immediately. Some of the clients who were also authoring books followed me from Florida. In fact, Howard, the guy I was accused of having an affair with, was quick to become a client. He hated the lie that got me fired. We never had more than a business relationship.
My job was to edit books by others and make them publishable. Something at which I was extraordinarily good.
Happy to be a woman in Reno in 2021.
