Short stories set in the world of her novels are featured in the Ten Tales Series: Ghosts, Bites, Beltane and Seers.

Her memoir, Someday I'm Going to Write a Book: Diary of an Urban Missionary, chronicles a career as a public health professional in some of the City's most dangerous areas, including the South Bronx, Harlem, and Washington Heights.
