Person
Elaine Wilson is the author of A Book of Songs for the Real Housewives of Atlanta, New York, DC, and Beverly Hills (published, 2011). Her new book, Downsized: Corporate to Criminal, is a work of fiction, a page-turning experience. After working in the telecommunication industry for nearly forty years, she witnessed the behavioral psychology of many coworkers by observing the way people behave when threatened each year with the possibility of being downsized.
Elaine lives in Alta Loma, California, with Luther, her retired husband, and most of her time is spent being entertained by her ten grandchildren and the sounds of the Las Vegas casinos.
