Dancing with a Dervish
In 1967 Leah Commoss arrives in Turkey to teach on Karamursel Air Station (KAS), an American 'intelligence gathering' base where secret Russian radio transmissions are monitored. She soon realizes there's more intrigue on the base than in the air waves above it. Leah is drawn into a frenzied dance of vindictive rumor and innuendo, choreographed by a sinister Turkish woman she barely knows, and whose motives she cannot even imagine. After finding a dead man on base, and another floating in the Dead Sea, Leah is dubbed "a walking international incident" by policemen of several countries. Leah's teaching responsibilities and travel perks can only partially divert her concern over unwarranted harassment, imminent arrest, and the black market activities she's discovered rampant on KAS. Caught up in this uncontrollable whirl of events, Leah discovers there is no way to safely sit out "dancing with a dervish."
What More Can I Say?
In this, her fifth book of poems, Prinnie gives us her quirky take on the issues confusing and complicating her life. She analyses, in beautiful verse, some of the unusual people she encounters, the mysterious aspects of nature that stir her heart, and the too-often baffling technology of today's world that intrigues her mind. Who else can make us mourn the short life of a common moth, or lament a robin with a broken beak? Prinnie can.
Dancing on a Serpent
It's 1966 on Clark Air Base (CAB) in the Philippine Islands, where wedding rings languish in underwear drawers, the Viet Nam war rages less than an hour away, and black flies feed on a body in the teachers' BOQ housing. Teachers usually die of old age, but on CAB death is accelerated by forces the Department of Defense never factored in when, every August, they delivered thousands of young civilian women to teach on American military bases from Goose Bay, Labrador, to Luzon, Philippines. Out of those thousands, seven single women find that, as forewarned by a drunken colonel, living on an airbase in Southeast Asia is equivalent to "dancing on a serpent."
A Momentary Elegance
Poems influenced by the craze for technology, the pull of history, the poignancy of nature, and the puzzling antics of other human beings.
Seriously?
Seriously? In this, her sixth book of poetry, Prinnie's subjects range from: ingrown toenails, Turkish delights, lilacs, blue rocks, football, a snow goose, the dust bowl, orioles, ambition, mortality, seduction, and so much more. Seriously? Oh, yes!
Down under Deming
When you drive down Gold St. in Deming, are you driving over mysterious tunnels built in the city's past? The rumors of their existence have persisted for decades. Did the army build a 10-mile tunnel right through the middle of town? Did 19th century businessmen use tunnels to secretly patronize the town's brothels? Or, did the local Chinese use tunnels to avoid contact with abusive townsfolk? The curious and talented members of the Deming Writing Group set out to explore these legends and try to sort out the truth. Thirteen writers accepted the challenge and were randomly assigned different literary genres (mystery, horror, screenplay, literary, etc.) to create each one's take on the tunnels. So, do these mystifying tunnels under Deming really exist? Decide for yourself after reading Down Under Deming.
A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE
A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE contains vignettes of travel from a city by the Atlantic, to the desert, through sickness, health, and other peoples' minds.
A TASTE FOR WORDS
A TASTE FOR WORDS contains unsung songs about people: the woman cleaning toilets at LAX, the same woman meeting the Prime Minister of Japan; another woman searching for her life's meaning at yard sales and flea markets; confusion about Steve Jobs last words; indignation at those footprints left on the moon; a woman lamenting missing her competency hearing, others lost in the corridors of life, and maybe even one about YOU.
Naked Came the Javelina
This wonderfully written modern-day Western has all of the mystery and adventure that's been lacking in your boring, humdrum life. Be honest now, when was the last time you spent a night in the desert alone without shelter in a raging dust storm? And when was the last time you shared a chunk of barbequed javelina with a band of illegal immigrants on their way to a prosperous life in Los Angeles and hasn't it been too long since you hunted priceless Indian relics with a beautiful and sexy (and way too young for you, I might add) Mexican maiden running away from her evil drug lord boyfriend. Okay, if you crave some adventure in your sorry little life, put down your TV remote control and buy a copy of Naked Came the Javelina. It just might change your life. It did mine.
