Isadora meets the talented photographer and sexually ambivalent Lewis Dodgson, thus awakening a passion for romance in a foreign land while her research leads her to take expressive dance, Lucia’s obsession and nemesis. When Isadora is invited to the Galsworthy villa in Vignola, she falls in love with the handsome and entitled Rufus.

What Shirley Missed

What Shirley Missed will be published this fall by Hidden Brook Press. It is a picaresque novel and a cautionary tale.

Moon Remembered

Donna Wootton, eldest daughter of ‘Moon’, wrote this book about her father. It is available through The Ginger Press in Owen Sound: www.gingerpress.com. In the Prologue Donna writes, “The story caught my imagination not simply because it was sensational, but also because it was well told, full of supporting detail and, more importantly, full of the love of life.
