Her story “Night Out” was published in the Ladies Killing Circle anthology, Menopause is Murder (1999).
She had two stories published in The Whole She-Bang (2012), by Toronto Sisters in Crime. Then two more in The Whole She-Bang 2 (2014). One of the stories, “First Impressions”, was an Arthur Ellis finalist in 2015.
