I write two blogs -- www.flippingburgersandbeyond.blogspot.com is for advice for teens and young people on college applications, internships, jobs and careers. My website www.flippingburgersandbeyond.com offers valuable free advice, including how to fill out a W-4.

The other blog -- www.mrslieutenant.blogspot.com -- is in connection with my book MRS. LIEUTENANT: A SHARON GOLD NOVEL and discusses military-related topics then (1970 when the novel takes place) and now. My website www.mrslieutenant.com offers the first four chapters of the book, original 1970 army documents, and information on organizations that support military families today.
