In the sun-baked valleys of 1500s New Mexico, where the Spanish mission bells echo against ancient canyon walls, two souls meet at a river's edge - each seeking something they cannot find in their own world. Mateo, a young Spanish settler fleeing the rigid confines of his homeland, finds himself drawn ever further from the mission's watchful eyes. His solitary walks along the river become something more when he encounters Ahiga, a Zuni Lhamana - a Two-Spirit person whose very existence challenges everything he's been taught. In Ahiga's gentle strength and artistic gifts, Mateo glimpses a freedom he's only dreamed of. Through shared moments of pottery-making, their hands speak what their different languages cannot. Each lesson becomes a ritual, each exchanged word a treasure, as they build something far more precious than the vessels they create together. In the safety of morning shadows and secret paths, they discover that love, like clay, can be shaped into something beautiful if one has the courage to try. Set against the backdrop of early Spanish colonization, "Confluence of Hearts" is a tender historical romance about finding love across cultural boundaries, the courage to live truthfully, and the universal language of the heart. Like two rivers joining to form something new, their story challenges us to imagine a world where love transcends all barriers - cultural, linguistic, and spiritual.

When war dishonors sacred oaths, even the sky mourns. The ancient peace forged at Nunuk Ragang has shattered. What began as a dispute over fertile land has ignited a brutal intertribal war among the descendants of the great migration. The once-united people-Liwan, Tuawon, Tagahas, and others-now trade not goods, but heads. Bungkar, a warrior of the Liwan subtribe, stands at the heart of the conflict. Bound by an arranged marriage and driven by his people's survival, Bungkar prepares for a final confrontation against Sambatang, the ruthless warlord leading the Tagahas, Tibabars, and Polupuhs. But when the tribes violate their own sacred rules of war, a darkness unlike any before descends upon the land-one that halts the harvest, one that chokes the sunlight. In the hearts of the people, there is no doubt: their God is punishing them. As fear spreads, Bungkar must decide whether to continue the cycle of violence or find another path before his people are forever lost under the darkness of war. This is the fourth book in the Sakag Nunuk Ragang series. The story of the ancestors begins in Book 1, Book 2, and Book 3.

Some houses whisper. This one never stopped. When sisters Iraya and Mara arrive at Pike Mansion to help their grandmother Renie, it's supposed to be just for the summer. A chance to fix up the eerie old house and prepare it for sale after losing their childhood home. But the longer they stay, the more the house reveals - not just broken floorboards and dust-covered rooms, but shadows that move, voices that echo, and memories that don't belong to them. Iraya begins to sense something deeper beneath the surface - a generational curse that has haunted the women in her family for decades. Ghosts roam the halls. Dreams blur into reality. And their grandmother, once sharp and grounded, begins slipping through time, remembering things no one else can see. As Iraya unravels the truth through her journal and dreams, she finds herself tied to an ancestral legacy rooted in the land, in loss, and in a curse that began long before they ever arrived. A curse tied to the Kaskaskia people... and to her. Some spirits want peace. Others want revenge. And some are still waiting to be heard. Whispers of Pike Mansion is a slow-burning supernatural mystery steeped in ancestral memory, spiritual awakenings, and the quiet unraveling of women who carry more than their share. Inspired by real generational wounds, this is the first book in a haunting, emotional, and unforgettable series.
