adjudicator for the National Endowment for the Arts and has served on juries for the Gilmore Foundation, the American Piano Association, the Boston Amateur Pianists Competition, and the Hilton Head International Competition. Author Weber has a second career as a writer of fiction. Her first book, "The Secret Life of Eva Hathaway" was released in 1985. Weber's books are noted for their bawdy, dark humor and their female protagonists. The books have spanned different genres, from romantic comedy ("The Secret Life of Eva Hathaway") to a culinary murder mystery ("Devil's Food"). As a writer, Weber has perhaps received the most attention for her books about the Bond-esque female spy Leslie Frost, "Frost the Fiddler" and its sequel "Hot Ticket". Nearly all of her books contain, at some point, a reference to the world of classic music; in the Frost books, the music world is central to the plot. Frost the Fiddler (St. Martin’s Press) was chosen a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times. She has written two screenplays and is currently at work on her sixth novel.
