Are department stores still a place to go? Convo w/Sharon Neiss-Arbess-Author/Writer & Storyteller

The conversation I had with Sharon Neiss-Arbess was right in my line department store or stores. I remember when I used to go to the shopping malls, which was very exciting for me. Now shopping online has a different aspect. I will still go to a department store to shop. I love to see and touch what I am buying. Keepin It Real w/Caramel Podcast "As We Say 100" spoke with Sharon Neiss-Arbess and we talked about the difference between department stores shopping and online shopping. Sharon wrote a novel about a department store, so let's find out all about Sharon Neiss-Arbess. After Sharon graduated from Concordia University's Communication Studies program in Montreal and Algonquin College's Creative Advertising program in Ottawa, writing novels had to wait a few years to fulfill her dream of being a copywriter in Toronto. Once Sharon's children were born, she left the advertising world and became the CEO of the Neiss/Arbess household. Duties included mastering the act of breastfeeding, driving carpool, becoming a short order cook, and volunteering at her children's schools, synagogues, and several charity organizations. During this time, the writing bug began to fly around Sharon's ear, so, she began to write at her local coffee shop where her debut novel and middle school cult classic Me and My So-Called Friends was written. Once published and distributed, the feedback was tremendous and triggered a need for additional related resources. Together with an educator, Sharon produced a teacher's manual called Brave the Waves. Sharon's love for writing YA was continued with her second book Get Up, which contains a collection of meaningful short stories, functional exercises, and inspirational quotes from mentors. Sharon has written for several online magazines, has been featured in Living Legacies, a Collection of Narratives by Contemporary Jewish Women, The Toronto Star, and writes blogs on her website about really cool people, insanely easy recipes, and what she thinks the world should know.
