Isenberg's first entrepreneurial comedy novel, "My Life Uncovered", attracted a network bidding war. To market her second comedy novel, "The Funeral Planner", Isenberg founded the real life novel-inspired businesses "Lights Out Enterprises" and "The Tribute Network", introduced branded coffee sleeves, and also produced a tribute comedy video "Jack the Mench", which received front page publicity in the New York Times, attracting publicity in the form of guest appearances on NBC’s Today Show, CBS’s Early Show, MSN, and features in Bloomberg BusinessWeek. Isenberg resides in Marina del Rey, CA and is a guest adjunct professor of multimedia, entertainment, marketing, and technology at Loyola Marymount University and Santa Monica College’s Academy of Entertainment Media & Technology.
