Millburn, NJ -- In this day of mounting thievery, deception, and invasion of privacy, how can you protect your cash, your assets -- even your identity -- from predators, frivolous lawsuits, and overzealous government investigators?

Jerome Schneider is the expert when it comes to hiding money and valuables, a subject that will appeal to every segment of your audience. Hiding money is not just for the rich. Everyone has something that they want to protect -- whether it be cash, stocks, bonds, and jewelry, or only their good name. It is crucial to pick the right spot and the right technique. This is the expertise Jerome shares in his new book HIDING YOUR MONEY -- and can share with your audience in an interview.

Jerome Schneider is not afraid to court controversy, particularly when he discusses methods for financing an extra-marital affair without getting caught. He also offers advice specifically for women, about how a single woman can protect her money while dating; and how a stay-at-home wife can save, spend, and create a separate financial identity without her husband knowing about it. He offers tips on protecting your assets if you are contemplating marriage -- or if your marriage is heading for divorce.

People who think they don’t own anything worth hiding are overlooking one of their most valuable assets: their identity. All an identity thief needs to become you is your social security number and a simple home computer; and the financial havoc they create can take years to undo. Jerome explains how to protect yourself from this crime, which is becoming increasingly common in the Internet age.

With vacation season upon us, travelers will benefit from Jerome’s lessons on carrying valuables abroad (for example, airline tickets can be used as currency that can be cashed in anywhere in the world). A hotel room remains one of the least secure places on earth, but Jerome reveals how to hide valuables right in your room to foil even experienced hotel thieves. He also has tips on the most ingenious places to hide things in and around the home, car, and office.

In addition, Jerome discusses “extreme hiding” techniques, including why Las Vegas is the best place in the country to hide valuables; tips for last-minute hiding, for when you don’t have time to plan; and even how to hide yourself -- by simply disappearing.

Many of the principles in the book are illustrated with anecdotes and case histories of real people Jerome has worked with who faced real-world situations -- people your audience will identify with.
