The Adventures of Squirky is a picture book series about a blue alien who goes around space looking for his birth parents. The Adventures of Squirky the Alien is not just for young adoptees. Any kid who has questions and seeks answers will, like Squirky, realise that any form of exploration is riddled with challenges, and it is only by overcoming these hurdles that you discover who you truly are as a person.

She has previously published a spiritual book, Quiet Journeys: Finding Stillness in Chaos and a collection of short stories,Imaginary Friends: 26 Fables for the Kid in Us.
