She is the author of The Boy from Willow Bend and Dancing Nude in the Moonlight (the latter since reissued as part of a collection entitled Dancing Nude in the Moonlight 10th Anniversary Edition and Other Writings); the children’s picture book Fish Outta Water; the novel Oh Gad!; and the teen/young adult novel Musical Youth which placed second for the inaugural Burt Award for YA Caribbean literature.
