than ever to devote herself to the ballet. Adrian Ashley, descended from British royal blood, successfully
stays at the top of the financial world until his personal life
becomes entangled in a fantasy dream that haunts him each and every
day. Adrian's focus changes when he meets the woman who has starred
in his dreams, and that woman is Kaitlyn Rose Johnson. Although Kaitlyn feels an attraction to Adrian, she refuses to give up her ballet career for love, and she harbors a damaging secret. If their love is to persevere and Adrian's dream is to come true, they must overcome a host of conflicts and obstacles.
Before the first white men reached the Pacific coast of California, it was well populated by many groups of Native Americans who were known as the Costonoans. Among the Costonoans, there were large bands who were known as the Ohlone tribe. What would it be like for two young boys, one a native Ohlone, and one who had come to America as an indentured servant aboard the tall ship that sailed into San Francisco harbor, to meet for the first time? Their cultures were unknown to each other, their languages were different, and their outlook on life was entirely different. But what if both boys were friendly and gifted with a natural curiosity toward each other? Would they learn to communicate? What would they want to know about each other? How would the adults in their worlds react to this attempt at friendship between these two young boys? Here, in "Taka's New Friend," (historical fiction for Young Readers)the author attempts to explore the stragies of these two young strangers in getting to know each other.

Janet M. Moreland is not a poet of the classical era. In "Spilled Words," her free verse, prose and lyrical rhythms may be separated for a given poem, then mixed with wild abandon as her heart spills words upon the printed page. "Spilled Words" contains poems for family and friends, for loves remembered, words from her Cherokee spirit, all of which may enchant or annoy but are sure to entertain. Her sense of humor is never far away and gives an insight into the life of this singular poet, who describes herself as a "recluse, living in an oasis in the midst of the barren desert, where I may wander with the spirits who dwell in these mystical mountains." Here also are some of her short stories and a poem titled "Thunder's Mother," which was written for children. Janet strives to entertain, and here is her entertainment at its best, as when she writes: I shall visit that place called Solitude again. It's peopled with interesting, vaporous souls who haunt its spaces in search of new touches.
Deborah Howell's daughter and granddaughter continue the saga of the Howell women and their quest for true love while they discover, at last, the cause of the family torment for three generations. "How do you describe a story that is poignant and romantic yet
laced with intrigue and tragedy? "Dance in the Rain" is truly
written from the heart, the stuff of classics, woven from the
threads of myth into a gripping and powerful love story with a
lesson for us all." ""Dance in the Rain" is a well-woven scenario of human passions
set against the fascinating backdrop of Cherokee culture. Victoria,
Hawk, Olivia, and Brad, their tragedies, romances and joys, catch
the cadence and power of the story and teach us lessons it's never
too late to learn."
