About Me

Guitar player/Singer/Mandolinist/Yoga Teacher/Freelance writer/geek living in Nashville.I guess I should write more about myself....uummmm....I guess at this point I'm a "highly published author." Check the publications page on my website for just some of the stuff I've written. I've published two books: Guitar Made Easy and Women in Rock. My articles have appeared in Acoustic Guitar Magazine, Play Guitar, Guitar Teacher, Fretboard Journal, and All About Jazz New York.
