From the Author:

To Touch Ice was originally written in 1980-81. Since that time, an odd assortment of Love Stories have waltzed into my head, which have now begun to waltz into Kindle format.

From the Back Cover:

To Touch Ice is a different kind of love story.
~ A story about the deepening of lover-bonds.
~ Written for the reader who likes an extremely intuitive, virile, matter-of-fact, yet mysterious, sort of hero. --With a bit of 'odd' for good measure. And a rush-off-into-the-unknown, somewhat metaphysical, kind of sappy romance fantasy.

About the cover:
~ The lowly dandelion, reviled by so many as a weed, smiles and adorns our world nonetheless -- with a stubborn innocence, totally oblivious to the hate directed at it ... yet another example of the perfect unconditional love we seek.
~ The one gracing this cover smiled outside my window one cold morning when no other flower dared. --To my way of thinking, a perfect analogy for lovers exposing hearts.
