Welcome to my humble online abode. As you can see, I’ve made some changes. The old website needed a facelift and some updating. The cobwebs were getting a bit thick.

I am, ahem, “proud” (yes, I do use that term loosely) to announce my latest project. I have begun a series of humorous books that have no redeeming social value whatsoever—except that they’ll put a smile on your face. I happen to place a high premium on smiles.

The first book is entitled 231 Other Ways to Use a Sanitary Napkin: The Ultimate Recycling Guide for Women Who Have Moved On.  Yes, you read that correctly. I am a class act through and through. (In all honesty, while I love this book to pieces, I am struggling with the somewhat, oh, let’s say “tacky” subject matter. I feel like hanging my head and saying, “My name is Karen Isaacson, and I wrote a book about feminine hygiene products.”

I could use a support group, but I have a feeling I’m in a league of my own.) I hope you’ll have as much fun reading it as I had writing it. Buy It Now!!!

For those of you looking for a little depth with your humor, may I recommend that you pick up one (or hey, how about all three!) of my  award-winning books on gifted children:

·         Raisin’ Brains: Surviving My Smart Family

·         Intelligent Life in the Classroom: Smart Kids and Their Teachers (written with Tamara Fisher, who is pretty much awesome.)

·         Life in the Fast Brain: Keeping up with Gifted Minds

Take a trip with me into my life and meet the characters that inhabit it, all while learning about the characteristics and special needs of gifted individuals. You’ll meet Myrna (my mother) who makes tuna-fish-and-jelly-bean sandwiches and the most bullet-proof underwear ever created by woman. You’ll meet Stanley, who taught himself to read at the age of two and went from the noble aspiration of becoming President of the United States to the much more realistic expectation of becoming a rock star. And you’ll meet Magnolia, the girl who lived with a family of rabbits in her former life. And… there’s more.

Ask me about my presentations on parenting gifted children. Take a gander around the website while you’re here. Sign my guestbook or drop me an e-mail!
