THE TIME DANCER
A Novel of Gypsy Magic
by Zelda Leah Gatuskin

A romantic tale of time travel, mistaken identities and parallel worlds. Can one really navigate the sea of time? When George Drumm falls in love with the Gypsy Esmarelda, he must learn the secrets of the Spiral Map of Time, or lose her to the future. But the Gypsy is on her own quest. The two leapfrog across the spiral in search of lost cats, missing satchels and each other, and in the process share glimpses of their magical universe with residents of the dusty town of Caliente.

Writer and collage artist Zelda Leah Gatuskin is also the author and illustrator of ANCESTRAL NOTES, A FAMILY DREAM JOURNAL. Once upon a time she lived Back East, but in 1983 she moved to The Land of Enchantment and has been under its spell ever since. Studio Z, near downtown Albuquerque, serves as office, gallery, studio and classroom for her multi-media activities.
A twisted, clever, spellbinding fairy tale for the 1990's. Gatuskin creates a vivid and bizarre universe, certain to satisfy the appetites of enthusiasts of such authors as Lewis Carroll and J.R.R. Tolkien.
-- Michael Bush, Manhattan Theatre Club
Gatuskin weaves a delightfully magical story which tricked me into thinking she was from another time, or maybe a Gypsy in a past life. I'll never look at my cats the same again.
--Lisa Law, author, FLASHING ON THE SIXTIES
As a teacher of Belly Dance and its esoteric significance, I would highly recommend that my students read this magical tale.
--Swari Hhan
