Jennifer (Jenna) Anela Hawkins is not just your usual tomboy that you have seen before. She's a great dancer, a very good soccer player who has a beautiful voice and is known to be a quadruple threat to most. This year, she is joining the University of her dreams, (King Arthur University) which offers dance and soccer in Los Angeles. The only problem is that the university only has a soccer team that's only for boys and won't allow girls to join. But what will happen if the boys' team's Capitan joins her dance crew, with whom Jennifer has a lot more in common than she realizes? ~ "By the way, you're a wonderful dancer." "Um. . . thanks." That was the second time this guy complimented me for this weekend alone and we'd only met two days ago. It made me dumbfounded which doesn't happen often whenever anyone gives a compliment. Yet David had and it scares the hell out of me. Until he gives this charming grin, "But I bet that I can do that little dance of yours better than you."

The poems in Exodus are modern re-interpretations and psychological explorations of the people and events in the Bible. A central metaphor is the exodus from Egypt, which represents the journeys that people make: trying new experiences, leaving a bad relationship, finding a new job, taking risks. Many of the poems are dramatic monologues from the perspective of a character in the Scriptures. WordTech Editions published Exodus in January, 2014. Janet's website is http://www.janetruthheller.com/ In this ambitious collection of poems, Janet Ruth Heller takes on the voices of a wide range of Biblical figures, giving them a fresh, contemporary feel as they weigh in with their own versions of these well-known stories. There are humor, wit, and compassion in these retellings. These humanizing, sympathetic portraits should resonate for all readers, regardless of one’s faith or lack of faith. She makes bold new footprints on these familiar paths. --Jim Daniels, author of Having a Little Talk with Capital P Poetry, All of the Above, and Trigger Man With her collection Exodus, Janet Heller earns her place in the vibrant tradition of the midrash that begins with writings from the second century and continues to live in the hip hop of contemporary rapper Matt Bar and in Robert Crumb's Genesis. In her lively and inventive "retellings" of events from the Bible, Heller gives us an Exodus—not simply the journey from Egypt but the very notion of change itself—that is beautifully mortal, compellingly present. --Nancy Eimers, author of Oz, A Grammar to Waking, No Moon, and Destroying Angel Keith Everett Jones designed Exodus and the cover art.  The ISBN is 978-1625490612, the book is 88 pages, and the list price is $18.00.  You can order Exodus from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Exodus-Janet-Ruth-Heller/dp/1625490615 or from Barnes & Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/exodus-janet-ruth-heller/1117495115?ean=9781625490612
