Her novel "The Greener Grass" was published in 2002 by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc., Pittsburgh PA, USA (ISBN: 0-8059-5645-X)
The Greener Grass is the story of a passionate, adventurous Greek woman who leaves her native Athens in search of "greener grass". The novel chronicles the immigrant experience through the character of Sophia, who arrives in America from her native Greece. Sophia realizes the American dream but also some of its harsh realities. She takes comfort in Greek customs and traditions and in her extraordinary friendships. Eventually she establishes an identity all her own and discovers the power of love.

"Eleni" is her first musical.
