Soulstepping
Stepping is a complex performance that melds folk traditions with popular culture and involves synchronized percussive movement, singing, speaking, chanting, and drama. Elizabeth C.

Soulstepping is the first book to document the history of stepping, its roots in African and African American culture, and its transformation by churches, schools, and social groups into a powerful tool for instilling group identity and community involvement.

Elizabeth's Knights
In the late 1400's, the Earl Of Northampton's privileged yet sheltered son, Lord Andrew Holt, takes on a young protege, Quinn. Few know that "Quinn" is actually Elizabeth, a runaway indentured servant. The green-eyed commoner and the handsome young lord forge an unshakable friendship, enduring many trials. Over time, the bond between Elizabeth and Lord Andrew deepens into love. While convinced of the sincerity of his heart, she knows a betrothal is impossible and dares only to hope for a life as his mistress. The determined young noble will settle for nothing less than a legal marriage and a lifetime commitment to his beloved, now a stunningly beautiful and strikingly tall woman, skilled in the use of her sword. As they battle their enemies side by side in mortal combat and fight back the demons of desire from within, their lives are filled with days of courage as they become the knights both aspire to be, and forge a love stronger than steel.
