A New York-based writer whose articles about nineteenth century American figures from wilderness missionaries to Civil War veterans have appeared in various journals. Her first book, [Adirondack Churches: A History of Design and Building] received a "highly recommended" rating from the American Library Association's "Choice" (June 2007). Her second, [Lily, Duchess of Marlborough (1854-1909): A Portrait with Husbands], was published in late 2011. One pre-publication reviewer, an English academic, commented that Lily's story read like a "newly discovered Edith Wharton novel."
