Today, we’re talking with Jane McCormick, author of Breaking my Silence: Confessions of Rat Pack Party Girl and Sex Trade Survivor, a gutsy and wrenching story. Jane not only reveals her 1960s sexcapades with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Peter Lawford, Vic DaMone, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Jerry Lewis, Bill Frawley, and other celebrities, she also details her molestation by an abusive stepfather and the too-young marriage that led to her addiction to the "big money" of high roller prostitution in Las Vegas. She survived a dangerous abortion, silicone injection, years of pill popping, and the harassment of her abusive "old man." Jane has dedicated her life to helping heal women.
Join Deborah and Fran as they discuss the importance of editing, rewrites, using the dictionary and thesaurus and other hot tips.
