    <about><![CDATA[I am the author of a book of trumpet duets (Charles Colin Publications), a photographic collaborator on a book of poetry, and four novels: Distant Cousin, Distant Cousin: Repatriation, Distant Cousin: Reincarnation, and Distant Cousin: Regeneration (out in September 09). The novels are at Amazon, in paper and Kindle editions (budget priced), and at Smashwords.com, where you can read 40% for free, and choose any of eight e-formats, also budget priced.<br/>If you like the descriptions, and &quot;Look Within&quot; or try the free samples, then I guarantee you will like the books.]]></about>
