DANCING IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND is a novel about the horrors of the European witch persecutions as revealed through Eva Rosen, a young widow accused of witchcraft, her persecutor Wilhelm Hampelmann, and her defender Franz Lutz. A cautionary tale about the dangers of religious zealotry, the novel recreates the world of early 17th century Germany when sexual repression and religious war were encouraged, rigid patriarchy prevailed in church, state, and family - and no one questioned the existence of witches or their master, the Devil.

"I was born to grow, / alongside my garden of plants, / poems / like / this one“ So writes Alice Walker in this new book of poems, poems composed over the course of one year in response to joy and sorrow both personal and global: the death of loved ones, war, the deliciousness of love, environmental devastation, the sorrow of rejection, greed, poverty, and the sweetness of home. The poems embrace our connections while celebrating the joy of individuality, the power we each share to express our truest, deepest selves. Beloved for her ability to speak her own truth in ways that speak for and about countless others, she demonstrates that we are stronger than our circumstances. As she confronts personal and collective challenges, her words dance, sing, and heal.

Rod Brookes is young, handsome and a highly successful 'exotic dancer'. He loves his work and he loves the guys he picks up at work. The only black spot in his perfect life is a mysterious 'admirer' who leaves him roses. But no one ever got hurt by a flower, right? Rod makes friends and enemies alike as he dances through his life to the frenetic beat of club music, little realising that, for one of these men, attraction has become something darker and altogether more dangerous. Is it Jed, the jealous 'star' of his new dance troupe? Or maybe Sam, his former employer, and would-be pimp? Perhaps muscleman Marty, would-be protector and sexual powerhouse? Or could it be Austin, the college teacher, the almost complete opposite of any man Rod's ever known, and the one he feels most drawn to? But when an unexpected discovery puts Austin's motives in a whole new light, and as devotion spirals into frightening obsession, 'accidents' begin to look more and more like attempted murder, and Rod's desperate need to sort out true friends from false becomes a race against time with the life of a loved one in the balance
