Almost all of us who have ever spent much time with whales or dolphins, either in captivity or in the wild, have stories of our own about the cetaceans' incredible telepathic and empathic abilities, but none of us have ever been better able to describe those experiences than Karin Kinsey does in Dancing on Water. This beautifully written narrative addresses forthrightly a topic that most cetologists avoid like the plague (because it is soooo unscientific), and she describes it with the clarity of a photograph. Perhaps, best of all, she's had these experiences in the wild, with a variety of cetaceans from several families, including both the most intelligent (the orcas) and the most primitive of the cetaceans (the gray whales), providing valuable evidence that it isn't just the dolphins that have this amazing ability, but the entire cetacean order.

It's one thing to claim cetaceans are telepathic, it is quite another to describe such experiences, and the minds on the other end, in such exquisite detail that the reader is left with the feeling that he or she has had that experience, but that's what Karin does in Dancing on Water, and that's the mark of a master storyteller. She has added a whole new chapter to an academic discussion that hasn't had this much to chew on since Joan McIntyre's Mind in the Waters was published almost 40 years ago. Like Mind in the Waters, which has never gone out of print, this book is a classic.

— Curt Kinkaid, who represented Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and the American Cetacean Society as the on-board naturalist and narrator for Catalina Cruises Whale Watch for 13 years, during which, he took a quarter of a million people whale watching. He also wrote the Whale Watch Guidelines for the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

Dancing on Water is written with a deep and intuitive understanding of animal communication; it is a manual on how to receive messages from the dolphins and whales — some of our planet's greatest teachers of love and connection.

Finished your book, loved every page!!

I found myself "sipping" Karin's book like the proverbial glass of fine wine
(or in my case, the perfect cup of expresso!), reading it little by little at night
before bed. I marvel at her choice of lighted words and phrases that draw
the reader into her enchanting and serendipitous world of the dolphins and
the whales. At the end of her book there are some delicately written
beautiful poems … I think my favorite is "Cycle of Life" and "Evening Splendor"
… then, again, there's also "Contact." I love the honesty, vulnerability and
spiritual reflection Karin offers throughout this lovely book.

     I loved your book ... I was so touched especially by the section on the depth of relationships — how they can deepen when a loved one dies. Wow! What a statement.
And what a statement to come to me after the death of my brother Steve. You are
very inspiring, and I wish you nothing but continued success.
