The Story Behind Hawk's Honor

 

I cherished my childhood summers at the family cottageon a lake in Michigan. The neighbor next door, a member of the local Chippewatribe, would thrill us with the legends and dances of his people. He taught usthe importance and spirituality regarding the balance of nature. His stories ofpeople who could shift from human to animal at will inspired me to write my ownversions.

 After writingEagle Dance, a red-tailed hawk appeared in my yard after a storm and spent theday with me to rest. The large bird sat on the tongue of our snowmobile trailerstudying me with dark eyes, rimmed with gold. Through a mist the creatureshifted into an incredibly sexy Native American man. With a mischievous grin,he moved in a graceful manner to sit on a fallen log. Jamie Hawke introducedhimself as a Chippewa and a Marine.

 He quicklyconsumed a plate of chocolate chip cookies and entertained me with adventureshe shared with his best friend in MARSOC. Hawks often have a difficult timefinding the perfect mate and his ends up being his commander. Eventually, hemight have to choose between love and honor. After the enjoyable afternoon, he shiftedand flew towards his next mission. Madame Eve’s 1Night Stand might help himsort out his feelings. We shall see.

Please enjoy Hawke’s story. I’ve placed a few EasterEggs in this story and a few teasers of who gets their story told next. Reachout to me at maryquast@gmail.com
