She’s a Simon & Schuster author and for 16 years, wrote for Orange County Register’s lifestyle magazine before becoming founding editor-in-chief of a quarterly Southern California coastal lifestyle magazine. Marla’s latest book, The Booty Bible, is written with fitness model/celebrity, Alicia Marie. An offshoot of The Booty Bible, Marla’s Ageless Fitness column at fitPOP.com covers fitness/wellness in today’s pop culture. In late spring 2012, Marla’s “indie” book about health care pricing, Decode The Black Box of Group Health Insurance, debuted with her as “with author.” Her co-author is a high ranking executive in the health care pricing field.  Marla’s video blog, ME Quiet? You’re Kidding, Right? offers free promotion to women over 45. Many writers promote their books here. In addition to her longstanding association with The Writer, Marla has written for MORE Magazine, Writer’s Digest, Los Angeles Times & Oxygen.com. For 8 years, she co-hosted a radio talk show on an NPR affiliate and interviewed many notable writers and public personalities.
