Jennifer Priel thought she was an average young woman until the
night her friend Ashley decides to explore forbidden territory. In
the search for her friend, she stumbles upon the Blood Wolf Hunters
and the sinister truth of her past. Jennifer will soon face the
crossroad of her life. As she veers down a dangerous path, she must
make the choice on whether or not to accept what she has become or
to deny what she is. The Blood Wolves are on the verge of coming
out. More is at stake than meets the eye. Jennifer must stop the
fight before it costs the lives of those she loves. She is the key,
but can she face her own inner demons and be strong enough to end
the war? An ancient soul waits in the shadows, and everything is on
the line in this battlefield.
My Book is about becoming a SPIRITUAL CHANGE in this world. But
first we must become a change within our selves. We, as individuals
hold the key to change within our own spiritual blueprint we came
to earth with. We are spiritual beings living in the material
world, to experience life and to grow by resolving blocks in our
minds. We come to earth to learn what we need and to rise in
consciousness. God has many mansions, and we are looking to
increase our ability to receive more of God's light. The pain of
life is only for us to learn from, and rise above. When we rise
above, we can receive more of God's light. When we see life
differently, when we see the true value of what we can become, we
no longer fear life. We experience it and grow and become more.

A powerful force and yet the butt of humor, the coyote figure runs
through the folklore of many American Indian tribes. He can be held
up as a "terrible example" of conduct, a model of what not to do,
and yet admired for a careless. anarchistic energy that suggests
unlimited possibilities. Mourning Dove, an Okanagan, knew him well
from the legends handed down by her people. She preserved them for
posterity in "Coyote Stories," originally published in 1933.
Here is Coyote, the trickster, the selfish individualist, the
imitator, the protean character who indifferently puts the
finishing touches on a world soon to receive human beings. And here
is Mole, his long-suffering wife, and all the other Animal People,
including Fox, Chipmunk, Owl-Woman, Rattlesnake, Grizzly Bear,
Porcupine, and Chickadee. Here it is revealed why Skunk's tail is
black and white, why Spider has such long legs, why Badger is so
humble, and why Mosquito bites people. These entertaining,
psychologically compelling stories will be welcomed by a wide
spectrum of readers.

One of the first known novels by a Native American woman, Cogewea
(1927) is the story of a half-blood girl caught between the worlds
of Anglo ranchers and full-blood reservation Indians; between the
craven and false-hearted easterner Alfred Densmore and James
LaGrinder, a half-blood cowboy and the best rider on the Flathead;
between book learning and the folk wisdom of her full-blood
grandmother. The book combines authentic Indian lore with the
circumstance and dialogue of a popular romance; in its language, it
shows a self-taught writer attempting to come to terms with the
rift between formal written style and the comfort-able rhythms and
slang of familiar speech. Mourning Dove, the author of Cogewea, was
an Okanogan of eastern Washington. She lived as a migrant
farmworker and, after ten-hour days in the hop fields and apple
orchards, faithfully returned to the battered typewriter in her
tent. Lucullus Virgil McWhorter, a respected and sympathetic
student of Indian lore and history, encouraged her in her ambition
to be a writer; finally she made her book a record of the folklore
of the Okanogan tribe, a plea for the welfare of the half-blood,
and above all the testimony to her own singleminded dedication.

Mourning Dove was the pen name of Christine Quintasket, a member of
the Colville Federated Tribes of eastern Washington State. She was
the author of Cogewea, The Half-Blood (one of the first novels to
be published by a Native American woman) and Coyote Stories, both
reprinted as Bison Books. Jay Miller, formerly assistant director
and editor at the D'Arcy McNickle Center for the History of the
American Indian, Newberry Library, Chicago, now is an independent
scholar and writer in Seattle. He is the compiler of Earthmaker:
Tribal Stories from Native North America.
