She was credited as co-author on her brother's memoir and autobiography, Anything Goes, which was published in 2008 by Michael O'Mara Books.[3] Part of the writing process involved her transcribing her brother's dictations.[4]

In addition to her published collaborations, she contributed an essay about her brother to the Hugo Award-winning[9] non-fiction anthology Chicks Dig Time Lords.[10]
