Elsie Gilmore

"My life is a social experiment, and I am the mad scientist." I began my writing career in 2002 with a pioneering online travel journal (aka blog) of a European adventure that included buying champagne for John Gotti’s niece and her wedding party in Rome, kissing the Blarney Stone, and trying to get Swiss men to kiss me (challenged by their declaration that “the Swiss don’t kiss”). This trip originally came about because a friend had connected with a guy from a company in Norway who’d been a student in my friend’s corporate training class in Sweden... because of course. That’s crazy sexy magic. Since then I have built a career as a web designer/developer, founded a women's networking company, and done many creative side projects. I'm a memoirist, an essay writer, a mixed media artist, a social artist, an entrepreneur, and a professional weirdo.
