She is the author of her newly published memoir Someone Stop This Merry-Go-Round; An Alcoholic Family in Crisis. It's about her seventeen year marriage to her alcoholic husband. He died in 1985 at forty-five years of age from this killer.
It was self-published and released June 19, 2009 by Infinity Publishing. Order it at www.buybooksontheweb.com, ISBN# 1-7414-5415-7, Price $18.95.
She is completing the sequel, Please, God, Not Two; This Killer Called Alcoholism. It's the continuation of her life after her husband dies with her two daughters. She watched as her daughter, Lori, traveled the same path as her father. She died November 22, 2006 from the same demon. Watch for the release sometime this year.
Her first memoir A Healing Heart had been published by PublishAmerica November 6, 2006. Her work has appeared in the Medjugorje USA Highlighter Newsletter (Trusting in God’s Will 2007). She is an instructor for Beginning Writer's Workshops.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
