Fiction
I Never Wanted To Be a Rock Star: A Novel (Four Furies Trilogy Book 1)
Deep Cuts (Four Furies Trilogy 2)
Echo (Four Furies Trilogy Book 3)
Maggie Morgan was at the height of her fame as the lead singer of the Four Furies when she broke up the band with a punch to the nose of her lover, guitar god Aaron Fields. Now, 20 years later, their son wants to bring his parents together and make peace with their shared past.
5 Star Review on Amazon: Fun and interesting, sad and full of healing. I really enjoyed the transition Maggie encountered from anger and deafness to acknowledging feelings and acceptance. The characters’ personalities were a treat to get to know, too.
5 Star Review on Amazon: Drama, family, music, love, addiction all woven together beautifully in this story about one shy woman’s journey in taking center stage, her way.

Nonfiction
I’ve collaborated on three books with Bernardo J. Carducci, Ph.D., director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University-Southeast. Ask me about my work as a ghostwriter, book doctor and proposal coach.
Shyness: It Happened to Me: The Ultimate Teen Guide (Rowman & Littlefield, 2015)
“Carducci’s experience in leading shyness workshops results in practical suggestions to help teens understand the shyness trait and work toward becoming what he terms ‘successfully shy’. . . . Librarians may want to single out the section ‘On Becoming a Successfully Shy Teen’ for those intimidated by the book’s length or more interested in specific suggestions. . . .The authors briefly but firmly distinguish shyness from introversion, but even introverts can benefit from the techniques for enhancing social skills.”—VOYA
A No-Stress Plan to Help Your Shy Child Warm Up, Open Up, and Join the Fun
(Rodale, 2003)
“Parents of shy youngsters will appreciate Carducci’s compassionate tone and his underlying message that shyness is a natural, manageable trait that requires patience and understanding rather than a flaw that needs a quick remedy.”—Publishers Weekly
Shyness: A Bold New Approach (HarperCollins, 1999)
“Bernardo J. Carducci has written a hopeful, inspiring book that helps shy people to overcome self-defeating behaviors, respect their unique qualities, and lead lives filled with greater intimacy and self-acceptance. I highly recommend it!”—John Gray, Author, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
