Book excerpt: Deep in the Colorado Rocky Mountains unspeakable evil rears its ugly head of destruction. Fire and death are at its core. Nathan Braswell leaves his home in west Texas for a much needed extended vacation in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and unwittingly becomes embroiled in events involving murders, attempted witness assassinations, fires and explosions, illegal drug trafficking, and a race to find the evil behind it all. After two weeks of trail riding and hiking with three lifelong friends, Nathan begins another two weeks venturing about the mountains on his own. While hiking in one of the national forests, he and Rachel Greystone, a young pregnant widow, by happenstance witness a double murder at a distance; she with her video camera, and he with his binoculars. While being kept in a witness protection safe-house, Nathan and Rachel have to flee for their lives when the house is attacked and the Sheriff's deputy on duty is killed. After working their way through the forest and canyons to a friend's home, Nathan contacts his uncle, Collin O'Quinn, a Senior Special Agent of the FBI's Paranormal Profiling, Identification, and Investigative Division. Certain actions by the Sherriff's personnel cause Nathan to strongly believe someone in the Sheriff's department is in on the murders and the safe house attack. Rachel is sent to a safe location, while Nathan returns to Cedar Cross with the FBI to do his duty as a witness. After abandoning his "kill-for-pay" operation in Chicago, Kane Baker carefully re-engineered his life. In recent years he has lived a double existence in Colorado; one as a county official and the other as the mastermind of an illegal pharmaceutical drug business. One disturbing facet of Kane's psyche is he worships everything about fire. It makes him euphoric, especially if it is burning away skin, hair, muscles, internal organs and bone - consuming his victims until nothing but ashes remain. Kane is determined to get rid of one of his

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘In a distant time on the island of Axis that sat in the southern Atlantic, a translucent blue butterfly fluttered its delicate gossamer wings while dancing its whimsical way through fragrant flowers and ferns in sleepy woodland waking up to a glorious brand new day. Sunlight shone through twisted, thick gnarly branches of trees older than time itself. Standing there, the timeless trees stood like megalithic statues greeting the solar dawn.’ The Wizardly Journey is a colourful and diverse escapist fantasy novel, which is full of interesting characters, each of whom represent the extremes and duality of human nature.

Written with the aim to giving animals a voice, The Wizardly Journeydraws attention to animals’ concerns and addressed them with an open mind.
Download or read book Landscape of the Spirits written by Todd W. Bostwick and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High above the noise and traffic of metropolitan Phoenix, Native American rock art offers mute testimony that another civilization once thrived in the Arizona desert. In the city's South Mountains, prehispanic peoples pecked thousands of images into the mountains' boulders and outcroppings—images that today's hikers can encounter with every bend in the trail. Todd Bostwick, an archaeologist who has studied the Hohokam for more than twenty years, and Peter Krocek, a professional photographer with a passion for archaeology, have combed the South Mountains to locate nearly all of the ancient petroglyphs found in the canyons and ridges. Their years of learning the landscape and investigating the ancient designs have resulted in a book that explores this wealth of prehistoric rock art within its natural and cultural contexts, revealing what these carvings might mean, how they got there, and when they were made. Landscape of the Spirits is the first book to cover these ancient images and is one of the most comprehensive treatments of a rock art location ever published. It conveys the range of different rock art elements and compositions found in the South Mountains—animals, humans, and geometric shapes, as well as celestial and calendrical markings at key sites—through accurate descriptions, drawings, and photographs. Interpretations of the petroglyphs are based on Native American ethnographic accounts and consider the most recent theories concerning shamanism and archaeoastronomy. Written in a simple and accessible style, Landscape of the Spirits is an indispensable volume for anyone exploring the South Mountains, and for rock art enthusiasts everywhere who wish to broaden their understanding of the prehistoric world. It is both an authoritative overview of these ancient wonders and an unprecedented benchmark in southwestern rock art research at a single geographic location.

Download or read book The Curse of Dead Horse Canyon written by Marcha Fox and published by Kalliope Rising Press. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1879 a drunken hoard of silver miners raided a Cheyenne village while the tribe's warriors hunted buffalo. A small band of young braves, not yet old enough to join the hunt, escaped and rode for help. Their efforts failed when they were discovered by the raiders, who ran them over a cliff along with all the tribe's horses that had been left behind. When the warriors returned and found the devastation, the tribe's medicine man, Black Cloud, placed a curse on the site. A century and a half later, a scandalous Top Secret project is under construction in the same Colorado wilderness. Bryan Reynolds discovers that its roots lie in the same greed, corruption, and exploitation of the Earth that precipitated the curse. But before he can expose what he's found, he's killed in a suspicious accident that his wife, Sara, miraculously survives. Her memory of where they were or what they'd discovered, however, is gone. Neither Sara nor Bryan's life-long Cheyenne friend, Charlie Littlewolf, will rest until they find out what Bryan discovered that resulted in his death. Charlie is acutely aware that the only way to solve the mystery is through connecting with the grandfather spirits. To do so he must return to his roots and the teachings of his medicine man grandfather. His journey back to the Cheyenne way includes ancient rituals and ceremonies that guide him and Sara to the answers they seek. As a descendant of Black Cloud, his destiny is deeply embedded in the fulfillment of the original curse, which was triggered by what Bryan discovered. Charlie's quest has only just begun. A government conspiracy lies at the core of the story, though this first volume of the trilogy concentrates on Sara and Charlie discovering what Bryan knew that got him killed. Modern man's disregard for the environment, which conflicts with Native American philosophies of animism and of honoring the Earth, plays an important part. Past pollution caused by 19th century mining is inherent to the story as well as contemporary activities such as fracking. Various paranormal and supernatural elements including detailed descriptions of Cheyenne rituals and ceremonies such as the sacred red pipe, ceremonial fasting, and the sweat lodge are included. The Cheyenne's name for the Great Spirit is Maheo, who is referred to throughout. There are numerous other-worldly situations included, based on the experiences of the story's Cheyenne co-author. While the story is fictitious, these depictions are authentic. Modern technology plays a significant role in juxtaposition to traditional Native American elements. Astronomy and the ancient art and science of western astrology play roles as well in helping direct Sara and Charlie to the answers they need. In essence this saga's theme includes the collision of two disparate cultures and their respective attitudes toward the Earth, one of which is honor, the other exploitation. These complexities are what expanded this story into a trilogy. Native American history is touched upon, but will be covered in greater detail in subsequent volumes.
