This play is published by Original Works Publishing. Her short plays on the subject of torture have been seen in the SF Fringe Festival and Sheherezade. Her latest full-length, Solving Sunflowers, was developed at RAW Works in Ross, CA and won Third Prize in the 2009 Eudora Welty New Play Competition. It was chosen for workshopping at the 2010 New Frontier Theatre Festival.
