Thank you for reading my stories. Falcon is the grandson of Big Dog, chief of the Sihasapa (Lakota Blackfoot) band of the Lakota tribe. With Big Dog’s son being ended in a battle with the Apache years earlier, it is up to Falcon to take over as chief. The only problem was that a chief had to have a wife. The Lakota think if a chief is not joined, then he is unable to commit to anything else. Falcon’s future wife and only true love were ended in a raid three summers earlier, and he is sure he will never love again. The Lakota lives with the constant threat of the white man coming into their territory ever-present. The Lakota council decided they need to reestablish their alliance with the other four large tribes of the plains. However, the Comanche refuse to ally with them again unless one of their chief’s joins with Nocona’s granddaughter. Since Falcon is the only one not joined, it will be up to him to join with this woman for the good of all Lakota. Can he do this? Will he believe the spirit of his lost love will accept what he must do? Falcon is torn between duty to his people and the love he lost. Which will he choose? Being chief and helping his people or declining because he cannot take another woman for a wife. Read this new series, starting with Falcon, to learn what life has in store for the Lakota once the white man invades their territory. less

Racoon is the second book of the Third Generation Lakota Series. It takes place at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition through the western Native American territories. This was the first real contact the tribes had with the white eyes, as the Crow called them. The Native Americans did not know what to expect from these strange looking men who invaded their territories. They had trouble communicating with them because neither knew the languages, neither verbal nor sign, the others spoke... moreRacoon is the second book of the Third Generation Lakota Series. It takes place at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition through the western Native American territories. This was the first real contact the tribes had with the white eyes, as the Crow called them. The Native Americans did not know what to expect from these strange looking men who invaded their territories. They had trouble communicating with them because neither knew the languages, neither verbal nor sign, the others spoke. They had to depend on some who had contact with the French to interpret for them. They soon learn that not all can be trusted to tell the truth to each side. There was good and evil among the white eyes just as there was among the tribes. Racoon had always dreamed about finding a warrior wife just like his Aunt Snow Dove. He searched and searched but could not find one to measure up to her. So, he decides to go on a quest to find the love of his life. He had no idea when he left his village that his journey would take him across the Lakota territory and then north into the Blackfoot Confederation territory as he tracked the movements of this new breed of men. Come on this journey with Racoon and reconnect with some old friends and meet some new ones. In this series, learn what happened to those you fell in love within the previous series. Then learn how your new friends will handle the ever-changing life they once cherished so dearly. As always, this book is a clean romance with an element of history sprinkled throughout. less

He traveled up the Mississippi River about a year after Louis and Clark first contacted the Lakota. It is during this exploration time frame our story takes place. Read about an amazing young woman named Rose and the strength she had to survive the harrowing experience of her young life. See how she became a loving and caring person who would do what it took to save her son and her people. Rose was only ten summers when she was taken captive by a Kiowa raiding party. She was frightened, not knowing what would happen to her. She did not understand the words they spoke, and they refused to sign to her to explain where they were taking her. The Kiowa did not keep her long before they traded her to what her people called the funny speaking men. Rose soon learned that these men were called Spaniards. She also learned at a young age to do as she was told or suffer the consequences. When Rose was sixteen summers, her master took her to a slave auction and sold her. A young Spanish man bought her and to her surprise, wanted to marry her. She agreed, and they were married before he took her to his ranch. Once there, Rose learned just how cruel her new father in law could be. Rose’s husband finally has enough and says he will take her and their son back to her people and even live there with her. Rose is excited to see her family again finally and knew her and her son will be safe. However, is the price she must pay too much? Will she be strong enough to endure all she has to go through after the life she has had? Does what her people ask her to do for them finally break her? This book, as all my books, is clean fiction, although it does contain bits of history throughout the story. less
