Your self-righteous sister promises to pay you $100,000 if you can get, and stay, organized. Tough task? Impossible? Add to this a mysterious and wealthy drop-dead handsome visitor next door and you have a new series of novels.
Such is the story line in Patience and the Porsche, written by Cleveland, Ohio veteran organizing expert Valentina Sgro. Anyone who knows Val knows she is the most charming and funny person. We were able to spend some time with her at the recent NAPO Minneapolis conference which was a real treat. Val is not very tall, but she's just endearingly happy to be around. Who knew that such murder, mystery and mayhem was hidden inside that mind?
Patience and the Porsche, starring fictitious "organizer" Patience Oaktree, is set for release on June 15, 2007. Audio clips of Val reading the book can be found here.
