LOVES MUSIC, LOVES TO DANCE: Nona, a film maker, Darcy, owner of a small decorating business and Erin, a jewelry designer are good friends. Nona is filming a story about people and why they write personal ads. She talked Darcy and Erin into writing and answering a personal ad.

One night the three are to meet for dinner but Erin never shows up. Darcy becomes worried but Nona thinks Erin has just lost track of time. Unfortunately, Darcy's fears come true. Erin has gone missing. Even more to worry about is the re-investigation of a 15-year-old murder where the victim was found with one dancing shoe and one shoe she had been wearing. Can the two be related? Surely not!

There are three men in the picture. A doctor who is writing a book on people who write/answer personal ads, a philandering husband and a man who tells people he is Erin's agent.

Darcy is attracted to him. Can this be a good thing or even a safe thing?

In investigating Erin's disappearance, more girls are found to have gone missing. Now the mates to the shoes found on the first victim turn up and other similar pairs are being found. What is happening? Where is Erin? Is Darcy safe? Grab a copy of LOVES MUSIC, LOVES TO DANCE and find out.


ALL AROUND THE TOWN: I have always been fascinated with the Multiple Personality Syndrome (MPS) and with the fact that one human being can inflict so much pain on another. With these two themes, Ms. Clark writes an engrossing tale of 4-year-old Lorie who is taken by Bic and Opal and kept for two years. She is then returned to her family with threats of death repeated to her many times before the couple lets her go.

Because of the fear Lorie lived with during those two years, other "people" have come to help her cope with life. Lorie is in college when one of her "people" show themselves to a professor. Then the professor is found dead and Lorie is accused. Sarah, Lorie's sister, is an attorney and takes up her case. A detective takes up Lorie's case to help Sarah prove her sister's innocence. Lorie goes into therapy to get help with the MPS and to discover who really killed the professor before the sentencing deadline causes Lorie to be sent to prison.

The story is fast-paced and well written. The two themes work well together and prove the listener with a tale that is hard to put down.


WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN: Nancy Harmon keeps to herself because seven years ago, she was on trial for murdering her two small children. During the trial, the prosecution's only witness goes missing so they are unable to prove Nancy committed the murders. Nancy is set free and flees to a small town in Maine where she meets and marries Ray Harmon, a real estate agent. Only Ray's assistant, Dorothy knows the truth about Nancy as Nancy wouldn't marry Ray until she told him the truth. Dorothy wants to be with Ray and Nancy but a client has scheduled a visit to a property that Ray has for sale. A Mr. Parrish lives in the apartment at the top of the house and isn't happy that Dorothy is showing the house this day.

Life begins again for Nancy and she has two more children, Michael and Missy. Nancy lets the children out to play and the horror of missing children begins all over again. Someone takes them and Nancy is the sheriff's main suspect. Now Nancy needs a lawyer and a neighbor comes to her aid. He is an attorney who is writing a book on the ten most famous unsolved murders, one of which is murder trial of Nancy.

Also in the mix is a psychiatrist that was a good friend of Nancy's mothers. When Nancy was put on trial for murder, he wanted to come to her aid but he didn't know if Nancy's mother had told her of their relationship and didn't want to add to her burden. But now he can't stay away and comes to help her try to remember the actual facts of the first set of missing children.

Her husband, Ray, doesn't believe for a moment that Nancy could hurt their children, nor does he believe she hurt her first children. With all the support of Ray, Dorothy, her attorney and her psychiatrist, Nancy is able to "let go" of some hidden thoughts. This, with the addition of a barely audible phone call from her son, Michael, brings the story to its conclusion.

This slim volume gets right to it --from neuro theory to
neuro practice. This is a an easy to understand guide to
neurology and its application in a clinical setting. The
author does his best not to make the subject intimidating
with drawings and cartoons. A great reference guide for
students of allied health care professions.

Selected, compiled and edited by the team of Morley Clark, Jane Downs, C.B. Follett, and Susan Terris, Cloud View Poets: An Anthology - Master Classes With David St. John is an impressively diverse collection of 82 poets who each had in common that they studied poetry with David St. John (Professor and Chairman, the Creative Writing Department, University of Southern California) in one of eight weekend seminars he gives each year. Each poem in this anthology was written contemporaneously with the poet's enrollment in one of those seminars. The range, styles, subject matter, span the spectrum, but taken altogether provide an impressive (albeit collective) representation for the quality of those instructive seminars, the professor who taught them, and the students who enrolled in them. Why We're in Bakersfield: We're waiting for your voice to drop, for your 'nads to reach their apt angle.//True, the city is scruffy in spots,/but there are parks and trails and sushi bars/to complement the taquerias.//We're waiting for you to become interesting,/for your brain to blaze neon.//Meanwhile we bear the heat,/squeegee the dust from our windshield and/watch people wheel their babies through the mall.//Mornings we find ourselves downwind/of the ample valley--scent of barns and cow dung,//first light rising over the Tchachapis/from the Mojave beyond, sixteen-/wheelers headed our way.//We long for that light, and wait for you. -- Joel T. Katz

An editor recommended this book to me back when I landed my first job on a copy desk. It was an inspiration. I have since moved on to progressively higher positions and am now editor in chief of a big-city daily. I would recommend this book for anyone who seeks an editorial position - reporters, editors, copy editors, even photographers. No other book, except maybe AP's The Word, will put you in a better frame of mind for producing high-quality journalism.

Excellent text. Thorough and illuminating. Clark is able to explain detailed and complicated processes with ease - very well written.

A must read for all - especially those involved in the medical field...what a great story, full of suspense and a surprise ending! Just another awesome book - thanks Dr. C!!!

These were fun to knit. I needed some housewarming gifts right away and these were great! Instructions were easy and I love the designs from Evelyn. I want to knit them all!!!!!!!

In this day of 'fluffy' Christianity and a water downed gospel, it is great to read work from a scholar who love GOD's word and has studied it for application and life.
