His paintings are frequently exhibited in galleries in the southwest. Ron Himler has illustrated more than seventy-five children's books.Turner, Ann: - Ann Turner is an award-winning screenwriter and director, avid reader, and history lover. She is drawn to salt-sprayed coasts, luminous landscapes, and the people who inhabit them all over the world. She is a passion-ate gardener. Her films include the historical feature Celia, starring Rebecca Smart--which Time Out listed as one of the fifty greatest direc-torial debuts of all time; Hammers Over the Anvil, starring Russell Crowe and Charlotte Rampling; and the psychological thriller Irresistible starring Susan Sarandon, Sam Neill, and Emily Blunt.

Returning to her first love, the written word, in her debut novel The Lost Swimmer, Ann explores themes of love, trust, and the dark side of relationships.
