Kuklin's stunning photographs of dancer/choreographer Bill T. Jones float on the page with a genuine sense of air, space, and motion. Kuklin expresses a strong awareness of the human form, along with a way to communicate about the external and internal aspects of dance. Jones's supple, poetic text is breif but evocative of both the movement and the mystery of dance. When I am dancing, I can fly high / and soar through the air. ...When I am dancing, I am everyone / and I am only one. From various perspectives readers see expressive hands, legs, feet, and arms. The crisp white pages and flowing typeface offset Kuklin's full-color photographs of Bill T. Jones' expressive movement. That movement is Dance! Highly Commended, 1999 Charlotte Zolotow Award. (Ages 3-9)

A Gothic Romantic Suspense

Remy Mistral, a staunch advocate for reform in a state notorious for its artful corruption, finally has the chance to effect change. But he faces two significant roadblocks: a killer lurking in the shadows, and an equally formidable woman seeking justice.

Dorothy Morgana Merlinn, desperate for answers following her parents' deaths—her father the victim of an assassin's bullet—resolves to get justice. Even if it means aligning with Remy Mistral, the man who humiliated her a decade ago. 

Yet, as Dorothy delves deeper into the murky waters of Louisiana's corruption, she uncovers more than she bargained for, including an unexpected romance with the very man she intended to use as bait for the killer.
