Some of her long poems have companion songs, with full scores and recordings that let the words sing.

Her bilingual children’s fairy-tale retellings have also found their readers on Kindle: The Tale of the Golden F ...more

Gemma Ray said: " "Contract Marriage to Everlasting Love" began as a typical contract novel - but ended as a book that I will not forget. This is not just a love story, it is the heroine's journey to her true self. Julia is not a saved princess, but an adult woman who ...more "
