Ramona Brewer elected to leave her fishing village town in the Bahamas for a safer, more secure area, when it became obvious the mafia was taking over control of the island sanctuary. She had turned thirty-one years old just two months ago and decided this small town in New Jersey offered what she was seeking. An only child, Ramona was the offspring of a native-born mother and a Dutch immigrant fisherman father. For three weeks now, the dark-skinned beauty had prowled the city where its low crime rate, beautiful beaches, and attractive men offered women of her caliber a promise of romance and adventure. This city held a secret, one that nobody knew about, and Ramona suddenly stumbled into the hands of a man on a mission, a sometimes killer, on the 1937 New Jersey shore where life or death was decided quickly-and quietly.

Provides an introduction and a definitive study of an 'artist's artist', who until now has not received the sustained attention that he and his work are due.

Louis Bunce: Dialogue with Modernism explores and assesses the art and life of the iconic Pacific Northwest modernist painter and printmaker who engaged with American and European modern art from Surrealism to Post-Modernism. Based in Portland, Oregon, Louis Bunce maintained strong ties with artists of the New York School, counting Jackson Pollock as colleague and friend. In his fifty-year career, Bunce (1907-1983) created a wide-ranging body of work that both reflects and illuminates twentieth-century modernism. He pioneered serigraphy as a fine art in the Northwest and as a painter infused painterly abstraction with references to the topography and light of the Northwest.

Manuel Izquierdo (1925-2009) was a major talent and charismatic personality in Oregon's modern art movement in the second half of the twentieth century. This book tells his story.

Johanson's art is concerned with memory and recollection, dream and fantasy, biography and autobiography, physical and imaginative detachment yet sensual engagement.
