Novels:
FAR ABOVE RUBIES (2007 Martin & Lawrence Press) 
Based on a true story, a Dutch woman finds herself caught in the nightmare of Hitler's regime when she voluntarily accompanies her six stepdaughters to Auschwitz.  Perfect YA companion reading to "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl."

REMOTE CONTROL (2008 Echelon Press)
Jewish control freak Judith McBride is dead and never looked better. . . but giving up the ghost, so to speak, proves harder than she thought. Funny, evocative lit for "thinking" chicks, from teens to Baby Boomers.
