Newsletter, May 2001
This month we are shamelessly self-promoting.
We are thrilled to announce the publication of Carol Hurst's first two
books for children.
Through the Lock
Historical Novel
"Part historical fiction, part survival adventure, this story will grab
readers from the first page. Etta and Walter's terse conversations,
anguished and funny, are the best part of the book, and the history is
fascinating, including what the canal means to the community."

Rocks in His Head
Historical Picture Book illustrated by James Stevenson
Leo loves rock collecting much to everyone's consternation. During the
Depression we find that Leo's passion becomes the start of a successful career.
"A big-hearted true story of a man with rocks in his head (and in his
pocket), nourished by the deep humanity in Stevenson's watercolors."
-- Kirkus Reviews
