About the Author and Book

Thank you for considering your story for "Online Income" (working title) a new book I'm writing for print release only. My name is Leslie Truex and I have been working at home, mostly online for over six years. I created Work-At-Home Success in 1998 and more recently her sister sites, Moms At Home Success and Jobs At Home Success. In 2000 I published Jobs At Home: A Complete Guide to Finding or Creating a Work-At-Home Job available in print and electronic forms.

My current work seeks to go beyond other work-at-home books. While current books are good, many focus primarily on mommies or on just a few options. My goal is to create a book that meets the needs of all people seeking to work at home whether they are parents, retired, students or anybody else. Further, I hope to offer information supported by true life stories (this is where you can help) on a variety of online income options not readily found in one single book. If you have any questions about this project, please email me.
