Elrod, and Here be Dragons, Tales of Dragoncon, edited by Bill Fawcett. as well as numerous nonfiction articles.

With Robert Jordan she wrote The World of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time, an illustrated guide to that series that made the genre hardcover bestseller lists for several publications. That was followed by a collaboration with best selling author Terry Brooks and illustrator David Cherry titled The World of Shannara, with an updated version produced in 2009. Not content to work in one genre, she also ghosted a military adventure for a Navy Seal, penned a series of humorous historical essays in You Said What? and But it Looked Good On Paper, both edited by Bill Fawcett, and collaborated, with the late Robert Asprin, and Eric Del Carlo, on a gritty murder mystery set in the streets of New Orleans’ infamous French Quarter titled No Quarter.

She also wrote for and edited the ASFA Quarterly arts magazine for the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists and served over ten years as an officer in ASFA including two terms as President. As Pegasus Management, her Team Pegasus crew organized and ran art shows and print shops for SF conventions throughout the country including shows for World Fantasy, the World Science Fiction Convention, Dragoncon, and her own Galaxy Fair. In 1993 Team Pegasus was awarded a Chesley Award for their work at the Worldcon Print Shop. In 2004 she was awarded the Chesley Award for overall personal service to ASFA.
When not writing she works as a balloon sculptor and show horse trainer. Before becoming a writer she organized SF conventions, earned a Master rating in costuming, worked as a movie extra in films and ran a jousting and horseback combat show.

“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.”
― Ron Paul
