A Call to Nursing: Kaplan Publishing ISBN 978-1-4277-9863-3

In this far-reaching anthology, nurses speak about the joys and the challenges of their chosen careers. Reflecting on their experiences as nurses, Anne Caston, Sallie Tisdale, Veneta Masson, Judy Schaefer, Elizabeth Tibbetts, and a host of other noteworthy writers draw from different experiences to speak openly and compassionately about their decision to become a nurse and the paths that followed. In this balanced perspective, they reveal the joys and the difficulties of life as a nurse. Poignant and illuminating, A Call to Nursing provides new insight into why people become nurses and what caused some to leave the profession.

“This moving collection gathers stories from nurses in all phases of their careers—past and present—who stood within life-changing moments and emerged from them with new understanding about themselves and their professions.” —From the Introduction

Family Business: Finishing Line Press

"The title Family Business suggests the ways families live and pass on a heritage—not only the commercial ventures that feed and fail us, but the private shaping of character, lessons in loss and survival, grief and joy, that convey the shapes our lives can take, the expectations the young can have.  It’s a business we are all in, sorting out our heritage, defining notions of place and home, what home can and cannot be.” Betsy Scholl, 2005.

Boomer Girls: University of Iowa Press, October, 1999.

Brother: Published by Action Printing in FDL.

Brother is a collection of poems that reflect my struggle to comprehend his life and death. The chapbook includes my brother’s original sketches.” Paula Sergi, 1996.
