His life, one of which is already characterized by abuse and loss, takes a sharp turn after he survives a drive by shooting on his street.

Mni wiconi - Water is life
The black snake slithers incessantly towards the Standing Rock Reservation. The monster that the whites call the Dakota Access Pipeline. Once again abandoned by the American government, resistance is forming. But the construction company has no intention of stopping. Things are boiling on the reservation. Two different people come together in this increasingly heated situation. Leo Little Bear, a traumatized veteran, and Emily Sanders, a scientist from Washington who campaigns for the environment. While he just wants peace and a job, she cheers on the protests. Opposites that lead to friction between the two. But everything fades in the face of the escalating violence. Does a murder have to happen first? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since the Wattys in my native language got cancelled, I'll just give it a try in English.Complete
Arctic MK
When I was four, my family moved from Pascagoula, Mississippi to Alaska. Daddy was minister, and he went to Alaska as a missionary. That made me an MK, missionary's kid. This is the story of my experiences from age 4 to 9. Memory is a strange thing. Some of what I remember vividly, my mother said didn't happen the way I remember it. While Mama recently passed and is not around to argue with my interpretation, I apologize ahead of time to my siblings whose memories might vary from mine. While the story is based on my memories, I have added fictional details when my memory of those details fails me. This makes the story more readable. The bulk of the story takes place in Fort Yukon, an Indian village north of the Arctic Circle. While Indian may not be the politically correct term today, it was the word used for native Americans when I was a child and so that is what I will use.Complete

Red Thunder
A love spanning two cultures... I have lived on my family's homestead on the prairie all my nineteen years. It is all I have ever known, and it is Indian territory. My father told us that the Indians are savage, ruthless killers akin to wild animals. "They are not human," he said. But I did not feel that way at all. A hidden warrior... I have kept a a secret from my family since I was a little girl. One they cannot know. I made a friend at the creek one afternoon many years ago. An Indian. He was an Oglala Lakota boy who called himself Wakíŋyaŋ Lúta. Red Thunder. But after that chance encounter, he returned to his people. I had never expected to see him again, but one day, I did: as a virile young man, wounded and on the edge of death. And the feelings of friendship I had shared with him blossomed into something more... ~Full version now available on Amazon!!!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LVZ39T3/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= ~Highest Rankings: #1 in "Indigenous," #8 in "Warrior," #1 in "Settlers," #1 in "Colonial," #1 in "Healer" and #1 in "Native." #2 in "Prairie," #42 in Historical Fiction, #6 in "Horses," #460 in Romance, #3 in "Rescue," #1 in "Lakota," #1 in "Sioux."Complete
