Besides being a full-time mother of four, PTA and TMC Board member, and weekly columnist for the Orange County Register's local San Clemente paper, The Sun Post, Autumn has undertaken another little project to further complicate her life. Inspired by the legions of humorous house guest anecdotes we've picked up over the years, Autumn's screenplay Guests of Guests May Not Bring Guests has already generated some interest from Hollywood production companies. And if she can continue to burn the midnight oil, she hopes to have the script sent to those who have requested it by late January.

After having her first child , Autumn wrote a book inspired by all the crazy questions friends and family have asked in their pursuit to enter "the real world".

Some of her articles available online at The Register's web site include:
