Foster was addicted to heroin and ran in beatnik circles, rubbing elbows with William S.

She wrote and rewrote the story of Shindig over twenty years. Foster recently suffered a stroke that prompted her to finish the manuscript for Shindig and send it out to publishers. A Blues for Shindig was published by PaperBooks in 2006.
