Their work evokes a soulful depth that compliments one another as they journey forward together.

Her poetry has most recently been published in Artemis Journal, Floyd County Moonshine and Poetica Review. In 2017 her poetry collection Packing a Suitcase for the Afterlife, was published by Finishing Line Press. Her 2003 book "The Jim and Dan Stories" – a memoir about the deaths of her two brothers – was used as curriculum in a Radford University grief and loss class for counselors before it went out of print.
