The 1950s, post-War Britain: the only people in society who can be said to have a glamorous lifestyle are the very wealthy, the aristocracy, and people who worked in the theatre. Elsie Lancaster is the granddaughter of a hardened old professional actress who runs a seaside boarding house. Oliver is the third son of a Catholic aristocratic Yorkshire family whose mother has run off, so the theatre-mad butler has brought him up like a son to be a Great Actor. Coco Hampton, Oliver's best friend, has been raised in Sloane Street by Gladys, her profligate guardian, who is always borrowing money from Coco to buy more clothes. Gladys and Oliver have been fans of the theatre since they were knee-high, but Coco has only ever wanted to be a designer. When Coco joins Oliver at his drama school in London, to his chagrin she promptly gets cast in films because of her photogenic looks. Meanwhile, Elsie is 'discovered' in the provinces by Portly Cosgrove; shortly before meeting Oliver who promptly falls in love with her. And elsewhere, on location, Coco has her first affair with a handsome actor, which doesn't end well... A colourful cast of characters and a script you just couldn't make up...!

"The poems in this volume, written by the probing, questing spirit that was John Tamas, are unique in many ways, but one quality deserves special mention. Over the years, I have many students write beautiful poems, and I have had a few students write disturbing ones, but John is one of the very few whose poems are often beautiful and disturbing at the same time. While there is almost always a music in his language, there is also often an edge. His "Lover's Leap" poem is a case in point. Here you have the romantic myth of the past and the graphic present juxtaposed with one another, and both stories are brought into sharper focus as a result of this contrast... ...The perceptive reader will find an impish "edge" in John's poems. He will see it in the graphic treatment of the present in "Lovers' Leap," the description of the dead swan in "Distant Music," and throughout the Babylon sequence. But it is important to understand that John rarely, if ever, uses graphic description for its own sake. When he shocks us, he does so for a purpose. The disturbing material is almost always used in context, usually for contrast." - James R. Scrimgeor, poet and author of Balloons Over Stockholm, We Are What We Have Loved, Monet in the 20th Century, and Brushstrokes of the Millenium.

In the first book of the Mountain Song Legacy series readers step into a small Kentucky coal mining town in the late 1800's where hope is found in the hearts of two young girls—the vibrant, red-headed Maggie MacAuley and her fragile friend Summer Rankin. When Jonathan Stuart, the latest in a succession of educators, actually wants to continue teaching in the one-room schoolhouse, then Maggie and Summer know that he is special. So when Jonathan's cherished flute is stolen, the girls try to find a way to restore music to his life. Sorrow and joy follow in the days to come, and through it all Maggie, Jonathan, and a community rediscover the gifts of faith, friendship, and unwavering love.

A richly imaginative novel of love, loss, time and the rise and fall of a great maritime empire, that sends two thwarted lovers spiralling through the chaos of history. The story begins in 1429 on Madeira, when a peasant girl meets a boy- a Jewish outsider- from a Portuguese sailing ship. Esperança and Emmanuel know they must part when the ship sails. From that first meeting and parting, others follow... Emmanuel is in turn sailor, mapmaker, bookseller, jazz musician; Esperança an illiterate peasant, a rich girl in Faro and a clever, bookish recluse who confronts a murderer in nineteenth-century Lisbon. In twentieth-century London, Esperança is faced with a double incarnation, one of the true Emmanuel and the other a shadow. Over the centuries the couple face peril and tenderness. Each life is short. What survives is love.

The dance of light and shadow unfolds across each and every page of Joan Annsfire's Distant Music. Life and death, love and loss, and the shifting patterns of time and memory, hope and regret, all swell, surge and release as steps are taken, hands are held, a face is stroked, a life is lived and examined, and a poet is born again and again, poem by poem, word by word. The movement of a revolution. The revolution of a world. A world within. And without. Distant Music is a compelling and moving collection of poems that draws us forward from beginning to end. And beginning again. -Carolyn Boll, poet/writer/dancer Distant Music is no "carnival of disorder...seducing with a wild and discordant song." There is order to these poems. They become a history, a feral memoir, the travel diary of a revolutionary. A travelogue navigating the white-waters of time through the sharp hazards of health and family and love. These are companionable poems (though sometime reckless companions) that invite you to swim naked or leap from bridges. They sing of geography's immutability; memory's flexibility and betrayals of the body; but ultimately these poems sing of survival. While they lay flowers at the side of the road for peoples and things that didn't survive the journey, these are poems of passionate endurance. -G.L. Morrison, author of Chiaroscuro Kisses Distant Music is full of visceral, surprising images. If you're brave enough to stay the course, Joan Annsfire will take you "joyriding on the rushing rapids," through the "searing pain" of childhood and a stigmatized youth, through the speaker's mother's illness and death from cancer and then her own diagnosis and recovery, finally to land in "an older body, baggy, stretched and / soft as a favorite pair of flannel pajamas . . ." Annsfire's is a world where "intense, immeasurable hunger" is an "elusive prize" in pursuit of which one must "scour the earth." The reader who scours these pages will be enriched by Annsfire's wisdom, her skilled use of metaphor and language, and her jarring honesty. -Ann Tweedy, author of White Out and Beleaguered Oases In Distant Music, Joan Annsfire's poems dance with delicate intimacy and shout their angry love. A long-awaited collection from the widely published, Berkeley poet, Distant Music is filled with poems to savor and enjoy. -Julie R. Enszer, author of Sisterhood, editor/publisher of Sinister Wisdom
