SUMMER
OF THE EAGLE

BLURB:
The
most powerful woman in her tribe, Blaze can heal with a touch,
control the elements, merge her mind with any living creature and
more. Yet, she is an outcast. Her people fear her and she herself is
afraid of the things she can do. There is darkness in her visions,
along with a tall, buckskin-clad stranger with golden-brown hair and
eyes as green as the leaves on trees. Somehow, he is her destiny.
Luc
Cordell is done with trapping. He yearns for civilization and a
normal life. His only regret is leaving behind his family. But his
father’s second wife is a SpiritWalker, and now, so is his father.
How can Luc live with people who run with the wolves or soar across
the heavens with the owls? Yet when a haunted healer with stars in
her colorful eyes enters his life, he is drawn into the mystical
world whether he likes it or not.
The
winds of change are sweeping across the land, taking Luc and Blaze
into a world of lies, deceit, and murder. Together, they search for
truth and must turn to the eagles for answers.
Excerpt;
The
sound of a whine drew her attention. The injured wolf limped into the
tall, dried grass. He turned and gave a low keening howl. It took a
moment for her overwhelmed mind to spot the booted foot poking out of
the brush. When she did, she hurried over. Parting the grass, she
stilled and the air left her lungs.
“Oh,
no.” She stared into open, sightless green eyes. These same eyes
she’d seen in her crystals, those of the handsome trapper. Blaze
rushed to his side, tears sliding down her face. “I’m too late!”
Staring down at strong, rugged features, she pulled out her clear
crystal and held it in one hand. It was completely blank. No green
eyes, no red blood. Just the stars that seemed to pulse with life.
Braced for the horror of death, she cupped her palm to one side of
the young trapper’s face, feeling as though she’d lost part of
her soul.
Setting
the crystal on his chest, she was startled when a tiny spark of green
flickered in the heart of the stone. She kept her palm on his face
and leaned close, her breath fanning his face as she stretched out
her other hand, holding it over him. She lowered her palm to his
bloody chest. There was no heartbeat, no sign of air going in and out
of his lungs, yet she felt something, not physical but deeper. His
body might have given up, but the spirit of the man remained.
“No.”
She pressed her hand hard onto his chest and gripped the side of his
face. Tears slipped from her eyes. One dripped onto his cheek. “You
cannot go.” Beneath her hand, she felt a sudden jolt, and hope
flared in her soul. “I’m not too late.”
Without
thought to the danger of retrieving a soul that had already departed
the body, she merged with the stranger. He didn’t feel like such a
stranger to her heart.

Bio and Links:
Susan
resides in California with her husband of thirty + years. She love
animals. Cats currently number six as she just rescued a kitten named
Luna last fall. She now considers herself to be a crazy cat lady! She
also has three dogs. Two adorable Chiweenies named JJ and Abbey and
temporary (ha!) custody of Shasta, her daughter’s six year old,
Great Pyrenees mix.
Susan
also enjoys crafts of all sorts including quilting, sewing,
cross-stitch and knitting. Knitting and crochet are her current
passions although with the arrival of her first granddaughter, her
sewing machine as seen the light of day. She is also an avid
gardener. Through her love of all things Native American, she
designed a 26-foot Medicine Wheel Garden. It’s a big project but
one that she loves, except when the weeds threaten. Right now, with
her crazy, busy schedule, the weeds are winning the war!
Camping,
fishing, biking and hiking (when not hot) are other outdoor pursuits
she and her husband enjoy. She is of course, an avid reader and hates
cooking and housework. While writing, she listens to a wide variety
of music, including Neil Diamond, Celtic, Native American, New Age,
Classical, and mood music (bagpipes and howling wolves drive my
family nuts). Her current favorites are Blackmore’s Night and David
Lanz.
