Hello my name is Kit Eldredge author of " Sleepwalking, are you living life by chance or by choice"
and the gripping new true life story, "The Root of all Evil."
I’m where I am today because, in so many ways, I didn’t know any better…and I like it that way! I’ve been so fortunate to have found the love of my life and soulmate, Marlene at an early age, which gave me the confidence to be the fearless life adventurer that I am today.
I wrote “The Root of all Evil” about a real life, crazy story we lived. Now we are making a movie about this incredible adventure and have asked Chris to be our co-writer and guide, as we enter the world of motion pictures, to tell our story.
Inspirational, self-help book with expressions that remind us to slow down our life pace, once in awhile to discover our potential opportunities.
An unassuming, ambitious couple have their lives fractured after winning a $4mm lottery, propelling them into a murky world of deception, shattered dreams and murder!
