With each book I only read about the tribe up to the point of the point of the story to not influence it with any information that came later. So I'm now reading all I can about the flight of the Nez Perce to Canada as that is the setting of the third book.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-51216751782964774172010-08-30T16:26:17.026-05:002010-08-30T16:26:17.026-05:00Thanks Tanya, I hope it is received by readers wit...Thanks Tanya, I hope it is received by readers with as much enthusiasm as my editor had for the story.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-4288553873742742102010-08-30T16:25:12.571-05:002010-08-30T16:25:12.571-05:00Hi Robin, I found it hard to put this book in a p...Hi Robin, I found it hard to put this book in a paranormal category because I feel the spirit element is a given for Native American tales. One warning, You'll find the Blackfoot are not in a favorable light in this story because it is written from the Nez Perce perspective of the 1700's.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-50470328700087627882010-08-30T16:23:05.587-05:002010-08-30T16:23:05.587-05:00Hi Anna Kathryn.

I read books by and about the Nez Perce, books on their myths and legends, information about shape shifting, and I visited with two Nez Perce, a man and a woman who helped me when I had questions about how things were done or accepted.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-16663408583867535662010-08-30T15:44:03.694-05:002010-08-30T15:44:03.694-05:00Paty, That's a gorgeous cover the excerpt was ...Paty, That's a gorgeous cover the excerpt was intriguing.

Being a descendant of the Blackfoot, makes me wonder what spiritual abilities my ancestors experienced, if any. I look forward to reading this. <br />Robin BadilloHigh Five Bakeshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046744131488217764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-33531111675427924702010-08-30T09:35:15.089-05:002010-08-30T09:35:15.089-05:00Hi, Paty.
