Her writing has appeared in numerous publications, including Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, and Salon.com, and she was a contributing editor at Guitar World. For more than a dozen years, she hosted a daily, nationwide talk radio show, interviewing thousands of musicians, actors, chefs, and other celebrities. In addition to Rock-and-Roll Woman (Sterling Publishing, 2018), she is the author of Aretha: The Queen of Soul (Sterling Publishing, 2018) and Bruce Springsteen: An Illustrated Biography (Quarto Books, 2018), and a contributor to Woman Walk the Line (University of Texas Press; 2017), and The Drummer: 100 Years of Rhythmic Power and Invention.
