REVIEWS FOR DEEP BLUE OCEAN"If you've been wondering if there's more to God than what you've learned by rote in Sunday school, then Deep Blue Ocean should be on your reading list. Rose Robbins, an accomplished singer/songwriter, takes you through her hard-earned spiritual journey--a journey sprinkled with awakenings, revelations, and just plain old common sense that will point you to God in a whole new way." -- Wendy Boswell, author, The About.com Guide to Online Research "...a compelling, courageous, and charming spiritual memoir. It's an unsparing yet uplifting self-portrait of a young woman's lifelong quest to grapple with and resolve the fundamental questions that life poses to all of us. Rose Robbins, a brilliantly talented musician and artist, aims to share her private odyssey with spiritual seekers--with those striving for a sense of personal meaning and purpose, but who may be turned off by the rigid dogmas and vacuous trappings of conventional religions. The result is an unconventional book that is in turns poignant, thoughtful, harrowing, amusing, insightful, and ultimately, inspiring." -- Robert Bidinotto, author, Hunter: A Thriller

"I have no idea what I'm doing. Being homeless was easier than this. How did I end up with a super-power, and what good is making holes, anyway? Especially when terrifying monsters are all that come out of them..." Fifteen year old Taylor Brock was homeless, and she liked it that way. No one to tell her what to do, where to go, the works. So when Evan, a boy who claims to be able to control fire, tells her that she needs to come with him, she's more than a little skeptical. But then he proves his ability, calling forth a fiery phoenix when someone tries to kill her. "Color me convinced. And where do we go? The Flagship. A haunted hotel turned boarding school complete with superpower classes, a mean girl that throws lightening and a boy who I just can't get a handle on. That happens to control gravity." Oh, and don't forget Taylor's forgotten imaginary friend, who turns out to be not so imaginary after all, in a very horns-wings-and-trying-to-take-over kind of way.

From late summer to Thanksgiving, pumpkins are everywhere, a symbol of fall and a reminder of the holidays to come. In this handsome book, Ken Robbins—widely known for his sumptuous photo-essays on subjects ranging from trucks to tools to autumn leaves—portrays the pumpkin from seed, to sprout, to flower, to fully fledged fruit, and back again. Instructions are given to (safely) carve a jack-o'-lantern. As always in a book by Ken Robbins, a simple—but never simplisitc—text is accompanied by luscious photographs.
