Her work has appeared in a variety of print and digital media, including such diverse publications as the New Jersey Review of Literature, Lucidity, Black Bough, Poetry Magazine, Gareth Blackmore’s Unusual Tales, Demonground, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and others. In 2002, she started her own publishing company, Bards and Sages. The company has gone from having two titles to over a one hundred titles between their print and digital products. In 2009, she launched the Bards and Sages Quarterly, a literary journal of speculative fiction. Since 2012, she has served as a judge for the IBPA's Benjamin Franklin Awards. Special Note: The best way to reach her is through the contact form on the Bards and Sages website. Those messages go directly to her email, which she checks daily.
