Publications
- The Grace of Everyday Saints

- The Billionaire and the Mechanic
- Covers the origins of Team Oracle USA, with founder Larry Ellison, and its quest to win the America's Cup,[3] and through its second edition, the second win of the America's Cup.[1] Angus Phillip's review in The Wall Street Journal said of the book that "She (the author) clearly had exceptional access to the generally media-shy billionaire and provides detailed descriptions of Mr. Ellison's living spaces, work habits, tennis pals like Rafael Nadal and Jimmy Connors, best friend and neighbor Steve Jobs, his many airplanes, cars, boats and houses, his clothing tastes, even his food preferences. She paints a picture of a modern contrarian who delights in bucking convention, which is how he wound up at Golden Gate."[11]

- Covers the origin of the X Prize, its funding woes, the teams that entered the competition, major figures related to the contest, the winning team with SpaceShipOne, and the follow-up of Virgin Galactic scooping up the winning tech.[6] Gregg Easterbrook's review in The Wall Street Journal said of the book that "'How to Make a Spaceship' offers a rousing anthem to the urge to explore."[12]
- Alpha Girls
- Covers the unsung women heroes of Silicon Valley and the computer industry.[10]
