Golden Fox bolted upright and threw off her sleeping robe. She reached for her mother’s robe only to find it empty; Sky Bird stood beside the open flap of the lodge. She jumped up and squeezed past her mother. “What happens? Father Sun is barely awake.” “It is your crazy aunt racing through camp half […]

I am sad TO SAY Broken Path has ran into a hard bump and has hit it’s own broken path. There is a lot of emotions in this story and it will be different. All I can say is it will be out sometime in 2017. I appreciate those of you who have stuck with […]

I must apologize once again for my book not being out. My publisher made a huge move and some restructuring that took time. Now, Evolved Publishing is doing their best to get caught up. I do hope to see my book moving forward in about nine months or so. Again, I do apologize. Also, my […]

Some things cannot be controlled. I have a wonderful editor and have no complaints. He is so good that he is wanted by many authors. We all know about being overwhelmed. My book “BROKEN PATH” will be out as soon as my editor can get to it.

WILL BE OUT LATE DEC DUE TO UNFORESEEN PROBLEM. Golden Fox, a girl barely turned woman, is pursued by her hairy-face father who will stop at nothing to find her, even if he has to destroy her entire band. When Yellow Moon, a relative, burns her family’s lodges in return for the Poisoned Water of […]

After a rough start to the year with loosing three dogs, I walked and walked and sat staring at their pictures. Loosing them Nearly broke my own path as well as my husband’s. Thanks to my wonderful husband who stayed beside me as we both dealt with the loss, and the best ever editor, Lane […]

I have lost two dogs this winter and another fights cancer. My emotions are raw, well above the surface. This is me. I describe myself as one word: Emotions.

Without these emotions I would not feel, not care and become indifferent to life and all it contains. THIS is not the way to live. Yes, I hurt. I hurt so much my guts twist into a knot. BUT at least I feel.

I see others hurt and cry with them. I see bad things on the news everyday and cry for them. When I can no long do this, I will be dead inside. NEVER, EVER allow this to happen to you. Without our emotions, our caring for others we become hard as stone. We become as our enemy. An enemy even to our own selves.

Ruby,

I finally had the time to finish “Circles”, and enjoyed it more than I can put into words. I have no idea what is taught in American history class these days, but I do remember my own history classes, and reading and talking about the “discovery” of the “new world”, the conquistadors, etc. Very dry.

This is the first time I’ve really been able to relate to all that took place then. When you put individual people, their tribes, their emotions, and actions that counter the human destruction that took place, it comes home to the reader in a way that dry history books can never replace. I love your characters – very powerful personalities – and the animals AND spirit animals are wonderful. They are both an integral part of my own life, so you can imagine my reading and nodding my head “yes” all the way through the book. I’ve started “Spirals”, and like the fact I can follow so many of the same characters as they age, mature, etc. Beautifully written! I’ll be waiting for the next one to come out!
