I started singing at the age of five, in my father's church with my mother playing the organ. Since then, I have sung with the New York Choral Society, the Oratorio Society of New York, the San Francisco Bach Choir, and the Valley Symphony Orchestra Chorus-and in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Grace Cathedral, and the ancient amphitheaters of Greece. As a member of the NY Choral Society, I concertized and made recordings with Peter, Paul, and Mary, Pete Seeger, and Jesse Norman, and was several times lucky enough to sing under the direction of Leonard Bernstein. But singing with Dolce Voce now ranks as the most fulfilling and magical experience of my musical life.

For a great deal of my working life, I was an editor at Simon & Schuster but now write my own books. You might have seen my "masterpiece" 203 Ways to Drive a Man Wild in Bed on the shelves of your local bookstore or on someone's nightstand. Currently, I'm working on a novel about a woman who goes back to ancient times and learns to strum on the lyre, as well as on a lover's heartstrings.

I love to travel, play piano, read, shop, and go to blues bars. That's how I finally met the man of my dreams five years ago, and got married for the first time. He's a fly fishing guide, so we both moved to the mountains of Colorado-I from the excitement and culture of San Francisco and he from the wilds of Wyoming. We are in seventh heaven.
