Double Crossed is a cozy mystery that follows the antics of Lucy Christie as she tracks down the murderer of an outspoken faculty member at Crossroads Community College in the maple syrup town of Maple Ridge. Lucy tries to juggle her roles as mother of two young children, husband of John Christie, a detective in the local police force, and her work life as a professor and learning specialist at the community college. Tension develops between Lucy and John as Lucy is repeatedly late returning home as she becomes more and more involved in solving this crime. As Lucy's lift of possible suspects expands, she puts herself and her family in harm's way, but she is unable to stop pursuing the perpetrator. The novel provides a Cluefinder to readers who finish the novel, providing the reader with a trail of clues spread out over the chapters.

Helen Frankenthaler

Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation

In 1952, at the age of 23, Helen Frankenthaler created her legendary painting Mountains and Sea. She poured thinned-down pigment directly onto unprimed canvas to be absorbed into its fibers. This large painting, the first in which Frankenthaler used her soak-stain technique, synthesized the influences that had informed her work to that point and announces her arrival as a mature artist. Published to accompany a 1998 exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, this book focuses on Mountains and Seaand other groundbreaking paintings of Frankenthaler's early career. In this period, Frankenthaler drew upon Cubism, the abstractions of Arshile Gorky and, especially, those of Jackson Pollock, whose radical technique inspired her to reject easel painting. Frankenthaler herself became associated with the second generation of the New York School and her unique method and experimental use of materials influenced her contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists.

What Time is it on the Sun?

A Fleeting Presence: Field Notes from a Crone is one woman's foray into the universal curriculum of the crone. The book is a first-person dispatch from the tempestuous terrain of aging, loss, grief, death, change, absolution, place, ancestry, love, transformation, reciprocity, and renewal.
