Whether her subjects are landscapes portraits or nudes Jocelyn Lees photographs are about beauty and its poignant fragility The landscapes are not spectacular vistas but quiet places that seem oddly familiar Sometimes glowing with summers light and sometimes covered with snow they endure through all the seasons of the yearLee has also assembled a gallery of people each of whom is remarkable although none of them is famous She endows every person with a vivid yet dignified presence Her portraits are full of implicit stories suggested by bodies and faces and made all the more compelling by the fact that her sitters seem absorbed in their own memories and dreamsWith a clear and compassionate eye Jocelyn Lee encourages us to think about eternal issues such as youth and age our connections with one another our relationship with nature and the place or places we call home She states The physical landscape serves as a backdrop on which the human drama unfolds The photographs allude to the fragility of the human presence in the world These portraits are a way to look at particular people and the human body as a part of nature evolving and expressing their identity and place in lifes cycles

Julie Smiths New Orleans is not a city its a worldexotic sweetly perverse dangerously seductive Nowhere else does politics make stranger bedfellows and the approaching mayoral election is stranger than most pitting the usual thugs and vipers against a seeming breath of fresh airErrol Jacomine a liberalminded civicspirited preacher The only problem is in the opinion of Police Detective Skip Langdon Jacomine is a psychopath and dangerous as hellOn leave of absence from the police force Skip becomes obsessed with exposing the frightening figure beneath Jacomines goodguy image Immediately an anonymous army of spies and hatchet men go to work on her and Skip begins to understand that in opposing Jacomine she is risking not only her livelihood but her sanity and possibly the lives of people she lovesSkips instincts seem confirmed when the only witness to Jacomines crimes turns up dead Skip thinks there are more bodies buried in Jacomines past but its the present shes worried about And protecting one of her own against the preachers evil sends Skip to the dark center of bayou country where even the elements are her enemy A deadly chase through the swamp during a fierce hurricane forces Skip to rely not on the kindness of strangers but on her own inner strength to surviveNo other novelist so brilliantly sustains the mood of ominous tension or raises the heat index as Julie Smith does in her Skip Langdon novels Of them all The Kindness of Strangers tears most fiercely at the heart
