Ms. de Giere authored a creative biography of Broadway and film songwriter Stephen Schwartz, titled, Defying Gravity: The Creative Career of Stephen Schwartz. Stephen Schwartz rose to success at the age of twenty-three in 1971 when he wrote the score for Godspell. His Broadway blockbusters include Pippin, The Magic Show and Wicked. He also wrote lyrics for three Disney movies (Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Enchanted) as well as songs for DreamWorks’ The Prince of Egypt.
