About the author

I had to edit my biography, changing my status from married to widow. Since I'm often asked how I'm doing, I'll put the answer here. For the most part I'm doing all right thanks to loving family and understanding friends.

I have two sons and four grandchildren. Two rescue dogs allow me to hug, walk, and feed them. In exchange they give me unconditional love and the occasional need for the carpet shampooer.

As the product of a rural upbringing, the wilderness, particularly mountains and evergreens are in my blood. I live in a small southern Oregon town which boasts four distinct seasons, an awesome river, and the ocean within a short drive. Ditto with Crater Lake.

Setting plays a big role in most of my writing as witness by two recent contemporary romance series set in Montana's awesome mountains.

Also writes as Dawn Flindt and Heather Williams.

Reviews

[Maggie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a nice read, but a bit too much research included in the story. It was interesting learning about the two cultures during a time when the Spanish had sailed over, but some of the romance was lost in the history and setting. Still, I enjoyed the novel and look forward to reading more of this author's work.

The reader is immersed in the time of Spanish conquest of the South west. The reader finds how Morning Butterfly and her people, the Hopi survive and resist the new teachings with the help of Cougar, Navajo warrior. Calm your soul and allow your spirit to listen to the drums as you are transferred back to another time of long ago.

Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinion is my own.
