More About the Author

Kailin Gow has been a published author for over 10 years. She started writing books for tween girls to help them with self-confidence and self-esteem. Her book, Gifted Girls Activities Guide to 365 Days of the Week, became a reference book used in girls organizations across the U.S. As her tween fans grew to become teens and young adults, Kailin began writing engaging and entertaining young adult book series for them. The results are book series like the Frost Series, PULSE Series, Wicked Woods Series, Stoker Sisters, Phantom Diaries, The Fire Wars, FADE, DESIRE, and more.

When not busy inhaling chocolate and drinking coffee by the gallon, Kailin makes time for writing fantasy books, blogging as an expert blogger for Fast Company, volunteering as an Emergency Responder and volunteering for battered women's shelters. For fun, she plays the electric violin, and puts together a music playlist for her radio and web shows.

Her Frost Series consisting of the Bitter Frost Series, The Wolf Fey Series, and the Fairy Rose Chronicles along with her other book series are being developed into worldwide MMORPG Games by SEE GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT, which is the world's leading game developer known for developing the top blockbuster films into games.

Sam McGuire (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Career Knowtes: Mystery Shopping, Second Edition (How to Have Fun and Make Money in a Career You Love Series) (Paperback)
The book may be small, but it contains valuable information you need to know to become a successful mystery shopper. You can save time and effort knowing how to get and apply to the many companies out there who hire mystery shoppers. I cannot tell you how satisfied I am with this book. I truly have gotten jobs right away and have worked steadily from the leads this book provides. Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Value for Your Money in Mystery Shopping, February 17, 2004
By 
This review is from: Career Knowtes: Mystery Shopping, Second Edition (How to Have Fun and Make Money in a Career You Love Series) (Paperback)
Writer Kailin Gow gives you a condense guide on mystery shopping. I was impressed how this simple guide can cover several aspects of mystery shopping from which industries could use mystery shoppers, what are the other jobs in mystery shopping besides being a mystery shopper, and ways mystery shoppers can own their own mystery shopping business. She doesn't give you false illusions, either, but lays out ways on how to become successful in the industry through smart business practices. She's appeared on over 30 radio shows and written in newspapers as an authority in mystery shopping in the U.S., Canada, England, and Australia. With a background in marketing and over 10 years of actual mystery shopping experience as a mystery shopper and recruiter, her credibility is solid. She may approach this book for those wanting to become mystery shoppers, but she also touches on how businesses can and should use mystery shoppers to help increase performance and service. I highly recommend this book if you want to learn more about mystery shopping, enter the business, or even think about hiring mystery shoppers.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Got Me Started!- the Mystery Shopping Book to Have, March 29, 2002
By 
"momoftif" (Somewhere in the US) - See all my reviews
This workbook is better than most mystery shopping books out there, especially since it costs less, too! It introduces anyone to mystery shopping and tells it as it is. It also helps those who have some experience in it to those who have a lot and would like to own their own mystery shopping company. Best of all, it has real live LEADS in the U.S., Canada, and even England!!! Just like the title says, you CAN get started right away. As soon as I received my book, I applied immediately. The first assignment was fun and more than paid for the cost of this book. The leads alone is worth it.
