Her novel, The Beggars’ Queen, is available from the Wild Rose Press (www.thewildrosepress.com), and her articles are forthcoming in AIM Magazine from WLP and Family Foundations from the Couple to Couple League. She is a composer of choral and instrumental music available from World Library Publications and GIA Publications.
