In Elise’s continuing memoir saga, her second book explores how she carved out an extraordinary life as a fearless businesswoman and adventurer in Japan, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Defying expectations in a world rarely seeing women as entrepreneurs—especially in foreign lands—Elise built businesses, navigated cultures, and reinvented herself through bold moves and boundless determination.

I couldn't wait to find out what that sassy Elise Krentzel did once her stint as a rock journalist for the KISS Japan tour ended...and boy, you aren't going to believe it! I was expecting her to keep being sensational; she did not disappoint.
Rogue Enterpreneur includes three husbands, multiple countries from Asia to Europe (with a couple of stateside pilgrimages) and - dare I say - an ADDICTION to entrepreneurship, to not only discovering but becoming The Next Big Thing. You'd think this was all unbelievable, but Elise tells it with her whole heart and mind, which are fully engaged in anything she does. Rogue Entrepreneur could be a road-map for people who cannot shut off or shut down.
Save a little energy, though...I heard there's gonna be a third book...
In part one of Elise Krentzel’s fast-paced memoir trilogy, she takes charge of the tumultuous 1970s by making a name for herself as a rock journalist who toured Japan with Kiss. Her parents encouraged her to sing, play music, and write as a child, but they forbade her from being “herself.”
Alienated, she hid her heart and learned to become a stranger in her skin as the torment of early childhood taught her to mistrust everyone, especially herself.
