Can you escape the wrath of the Spirits?
One of Sandy Jacobs’ ten year old students and his family are accused of witchcraft. Blamed for the mysterious deaths of two San Anselmo Pueblo children, they’re terrorized by “Boogeymen” Kachina, fierce-looking impersonators of the spirits. Sandy rushes to their aid, but her actions inflame the perpetrators and arouse the opposition of Native born faculty member, Ben Rush. Sandy and Ben clash over the issue while struggling against the attraction growing between them until the harassment culminates in violence. Together they risk their lives to uncover the truth and, in the process, learn lessons as valuable as any they have taught.
For all those fascinated by the American Southwest, Native American culture and Tony Hillerman mysteries.
Targeted Age Group:

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
I don’t know if my genre is unique, but my story is unusual. It takes an insider view of Pueblo Indian culture and rituals and adds them to the mix of a suspenseful mystery. Hope you enjoy!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I lived and worked on the Zuni Reservation in New Mexico for a few years and was privy to experiences very few people ever have. Even at the time, I knew someday I would be motivated to write about this mystical time and place.
