She wrote, recorded and produced a soundtrack album for Days of Our Lives, and has made appearances on that show. Along with co-creator Dan Silver, she released the hard-hitting album Goddess Killer for Silvermoney. Her new, blues-based-rock CD Race Against The Sky has an official release date set for October 1, 2013 and she will tour in support of this new project with her band, In The Black.
