Inga Ellzey has spent a career being underestimated, then proving people wrong.

She built the largest dermatology billing service in the country from a business she started in 1996 — and along the way wrote over 10,000 articles for her company's newsletter, spoke to more than 100,000 people over a decade as a national speaker for GlaxoSmithKline, and earned the nickname "Guru" from an industry that doesn't hand out nicknames lightly. She holds a Master's in Public Administration and a Bachelor's in Medical Record Administration from the University of Central Florida, where she later taught as an adjunct professor.

None of that explains the mental ward roommate with the FBI-grade bra, or the burning ship in the Galápagos, or the pecan orchard full of manure. For that, you'll need the book.

Inga has been writing since she was 12 — poetry first, then two novels, a series of children's books, and, more recently, four country songs. I Want to Go to Heaven But I'm Afraid of Heights is her first memoir, and the first of her work she's brought to publication.
