"Fabulous story with magic and suspense"
In California, Evan Remington often informed his wife
Helen that the only way she will leave him is in a coffin.
Helen remained with her wealthy husband until she concluded
that his abuse was heading towards completing his
prophecy. Knowing she must flee, Helen faked her death and
changed her identity to Nell Channing. Eight months later and owning about two hundred
dollars, Nell settles on Three Sisters Island off the
Massachusetts coast. She feels an affinity to a cafe-book
store owned by Mia Devlin and quickly obtains the job as
cook, mostly because she can make cappuccino. Mia, a
witch, believes Nell is a descendent of the island's three
founders who fled to here to escape the Salem trials.
Sheriff Zack Todd begins drinking a lot of coffee as he
tries to penetrate Nell's wary visage in order to explore
their attraction. However, a tourist recognizes Nell,
making it obvious that Evan is coming. DANCE UPON THE AIR shows why the incomparable Nora
needs no second name for romance readers to realize that
another distinctive book is available for quality reading.
Her latest tale, DANCE UPON THE AIR, will have the audience
dance upon the ceiling with elation because the novel is
fabulous. The story line is exciting as it contains magic
(love and witchcraft) and suspense. The characters ring
authentic especially Nell who fears even the kind love
offered by Zack. Readers and reviewers, at least this one,
will anxiously await books two and three in Ms. Robert's
Three Sisters Island Trilogy (stories of Mia and Zack's
sister Ripley). Harriet Klausner

Summary2002 RITA Finalist
First in the bewitching new Three Sisters Island trilogy.
When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sisters
Island, she believes that she's finally found refuge from
her abusive husband -- and from the terrifying life she
fled so desperately eight months ago . . .
But even in this quiet peaceful place, Nell never feels
entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her identity, she
takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore café -- and
begins to explore her feelings for the island Sheriff, Zack
Todd. But there is a part of herself she can never reveal
to him, for she must continue to guard her secrets if she
wants to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one
misplaced confidence, and the new life she's so carefully
created could shatter completely.
Just as Nell starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to
break free of her fear, she realizes that the island
suffers under a terrible curse -- one that can only be
broken by the descendants of the Three Sisters, the witches
who settled the island back in 1692. And now, with the help
of two other strong, gifted women -- and the nightmares of
the past haunting her every step -- she must find the power
to save her home, her love . . . and herself.
