She is a member of The Grand Ol’ Opry, The Country Music Association, The Academy of Country Music, Nashville Songwriters Assn., Int., and Broadcast Music, Inc., (BMI) as a songwriter.

Shaking the Apple Trees, the Stories of Henry Jesse Hatton, was written when the characters began intruding into another book she was writing.
