* Gentle on My Mind, Chapter 4	 by Kathy Keegan -- in the Gentle on My Mind universe ("It's Christmas ... and Ray is back at work. He's developing in every way, and not only is he "aware" of women, well, women are aware of him too! Bodie is amused, but the situation blows up when a girl makes a heavy pass not at Ray, but at Bodie. Meanwhile, Murphy's about to become a father, and Brian Macklin, Ray's good friend and sometime tutor, is ailing. The problem runs in families. It's arthritis, and the situation with Towser is not making Brian's life any easier. Feel-good fiction at its best and more to come ... don't miss Chapter Five in ENCORE 2! " - "Ray is still growing, learning and developing. Largely out of Bodie's care and jurisdiction now, he is under the constant barrage of new information, ideas and viewpoints. What will he make of the world — and what will it make of him? Bodie cannot know; but he can see Ray growing, even changing. For a long time, Bodie wondered what would happen if Ray noticed women...but now, women have noticed Ray, which is not quite the same thing! A chain of not-quite-chance events leads Bodie and Ray a merry dance. Meanwhile, Murphy is about to be a father. And where does tennis pro Jenny Niven fit into all this?") (4)
* A Question of Priorities	by Kathy Keegan	in the Affairs of the Heart universe ("Bodie and Doyle are with M.A.N., Tony Milford's company, but leave it to George Cowley to complicate their lives! First, there's trouble of the legal kind, a brush with the law in the Fordham Magistrate's Court. This drags CI5 into the picture, and it's "the mushroom syndrome." Bodie and Doyle escape — into Russia! Tony has booked his company of models on a fashion parade tour behind the Iron Curtain. Gays are at risk in the USSR to begin with ... and then Cowley, figuring Bodie and Doyle owe him a few favors (and he's right!) coerces them to undertake some under-cover moonlighting for him, deep in the red heart of Russia. This short-novel begins a story arc concluding with a heart-stopper of a thriller in CROSS MY HEART #12: don't miss! " - "The high-flying world of international fashion transcends borders, nations and politics; or it should. Sir Tony Milton has been granted the invitation he has longed for: the opportunity to stage a show in eastern Europe. It is the chance of a lifetime, and he is guick to accept. But all too soon CI5 become aware of the unwelcome attentions of both Soviet and American intelligence agencies. All is not as it seems, and Ray Doyle finds himself a reluctant pawn in a power-game he may not survive. For Bodie, life has become a waking and sleeping struggle to decide where his priorities lie, and how much deception he can live with.") (58)
* Pas de Deux by 	Kathy Keegan	in the Fancy Dancing universe ("Well recovered from the shooting, Ray Doyle is dancing again. He knows he'll never be quite what he was, but there's a lot of mileage left in him yet ... and the Black Velvet nightclub is in some considerable strife. They're opening again, on a budget as tight as a corset, and right before opening night, disaster. " -- "The insurance company may be strangling Black Velvet in red tape and refusing to pay out, but the dancer is resurrected. With the club under a financial cloud, since debts are owed to so many sources, partners Doyle and Bodie are placed in a difficult position. Sell the club to bail out, borrow heavily from Rod? Or will Ray accept a contract to dance in a show in Paris, which will pay a great deal of money...if his recently injured body can take the punishment; and if his pride and scruples would allow him to become involved in that kind of show! Life wasn't meant to be easy, but this one is a bitch!") (111)

* Gentle on My Mind, Chapter 5 by 	Kathy Keegan	in the Gentle on My Mind universe ("Ray and Bodie are back at work, full time ... busy, productive, positive and optimistic. In fact, they're working so hard that the time has come for a good vacation. They take the opportunity to go out to Uncle Albert's farm, where Ray has his horse, and where Bodie finds he has the mixed feelings that come from difficult memories. And then ... as always, trouble. Albert is having trouble with petty thieves, but even he couldn't suspect the culprit. So Bodie and Ray do some detective work, and they uncover a snakepit of trouble that will land Bodie in an emergency room ... and Ray behind the wheel of a car, driving on the open road, for the first time since the accident where he almost died. This is the final chapter in this best-loved of Kathy's stories: novel-length.") (5)
* Take the Stage	by Kathy Keegan ("The last segment of the story that began in FANCY DANCING. As always, Doyle's life is compex [sic]... and Bodie's is so interwoven with Doyle's, what affects one affects the other. Doyle is dancing, and dancing well, but he's feeling the strain. Dangerfield is doing his best to get him work, exposure and money ... and now there's a lecherous French director who wants to hire Doyle to dance in Paris, if his body will stand up to the work — and if he will "go along" with the material. Bodie is worried. Doyle could eaisly [sic] cripple himself all over again with this ... yet Black Velvet needs the money.") (112)
