Becoming Beatrice
Longing to escape her restricted life in 1890s Oakland, California, feisty 17-year-old Beatrice Blake confronts her mother and deserts her fiancé to accept a teaching job in the frontier mill town of Snohomish, Washington. But her dream of independence quickly turns grim. She proves unable to control her rowdy school children, the town's people accuse her of triggering a lumberman's death and of bringing smallpox. Her favorite dark cape prompts a rumor that she is a witch. Complicating her life, Beatrice is immediately attracted to a dashing German immigrant and she begins to question all she once held as true. As her personal crisis deepens, Beatrice rises to the challenge and begins to listen to her own heart. Humbled by her situation and the kindness of others, she finds unexpected happiness and freedom, discovering a generous and forgiving side of herself she had long kept hidden. Becoming Beatrice will resonate with today's readers through the evergreen themes of romance, friendship, racism, multiculturalism, bullying, independence and overcoming personal challenges.

The Trials of Tricia Blake
A tale of love, hate and murder, set in 1979 in England when kids sang about bricks in wall and hated Mondays. For 14 year old Tricia Blake, a dream-come-true horse for a year offers a fragile escape from the gritty reality of a shattered life. But, in Tricia's world, dreams don't last. The bad guy always wins. Until, one day, he goes way too far... 'Pony club teen scene meets hardcore urban novel. Tricia Blake does a wicked thing. But who can blame her? A compelling story of revenge.' Carrie Worrall

William Blake's Illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy
William Blake's series of illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy was his last major project and a summation of his religious and artistic beliefs. Blake intended to engrave this series, but it was unfinished at his death. The series includes seven partially complete engravings and 102 works in various stages of completion--some of the most beautiful pictures of his career. These pictures are not simple illustrations, but constitute a thorough reinterpretation and--in Blake's view--correction of Dante's poem. This book compares the two men's theological and artistic views and analyzes in detail the meaning of Blake's illustrations, for the first time introducing their theological and aesthetic exuberance to a modern audience.
Gilchrist on Blake
This was the first biography of Blake ever written, at a time when the great visionary poet and painter was generally forgotten, ridiculed or dismissed as insane.
