Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Western Writers of America’s Medicine Pipe Bearer’s Award Tall, vain, elegant, the Crow were perhaps the most handsome of the Plains tribes. They were superb horsemen and fierce mystic warriors, implacable enemies, unshakable friends. A French-Canadian trapper, Renee DeGeer was a loner before he came to the Crow. He became one of them when he married the beautiful Tall Willow, only daughter of the principal chief, and started their magnificent family. But all too soon they and the whole Whistling Water clan found themselves in a fight to the death with other tribes competing for dwindling land and facing a white culture that threatened to overwhelm them like a river in flood. Now, as surely as the sun must set, the glory days of noble warriors and roaming hunters were coming to an end. THE GLORY DAYS OF BUFFALO EGBERT A magnificent novel that brings to life the moving story of the Crow nation “A must read. If you haven’t yet read it, get it. It’s a fine reading experience.” —Allan W. Eckert, author of That Dark and Bloody River
Book Synopsis Remembering the Osage Kid by : Mardi Oakley Medawar

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping novel of the Native American experience as seen by a powerful and controversial member of the Osage nation. C.R. Jones was one of the wealthiest men in Oklahoma. A full-blooded Osage Indian, he'd parlayed the black gold of oil into a position of unassailable power. But behind the success lay a long and tumultuous past: the scrawny kid with a gun who'd ridden with outlaws and avenged his father's brutal murder; the passionate teen who'd pledged his undying love to the one woman he could never have; the driven tycoon who'd made enemies as fast as he made money. Everett Jakomin was the son of one of those enemies. A small-town storekeeper, he hated and feared C.R., until he unexpectedly found himself the keeper of C.R.'s legacy. And as Everett soon discovered, only by learning C.R.'s remarkable story would he ever know the truth about himself. Filled with the color and spirit of Oklahoma history—from the life and lore of the Osage nation to the hardscrabble frontier days of marauding outlaws to the prosperity of the 1950s—here is the stirring tale of two very different men linked by a fierce pride and a tragic secret.

But Tay-bodal will discover more than truth. He will embark on a journey so spiritual, so important, that he will finally know what it is to be a Kiowa Indian...

Book excerpt: Author of THE GLORY DAYS OF BUFFALO EGBERT a.k.a People of the Whistling Waters Henrytown, Louisiana… It’s barely on the map. It wasn’t until 1962 that it was even considered a viable speed-trap. And yet… In 1934 Georgia aristocrat Aaron Brooks graduated from the Atlanta Seminary. The son of a wealthy family, surely Aaron wouldn’t actually accept the pastorate of some backwater Louisiana town, especially in the height of the Great Depression. And yet…Aaron boarded the train… The people of Henrytown were struck by his startling good looks and gracious manner. The consensus was that he was too pretty and too helpless to survive inside a hardscrabble town. But when they heard him preach, they stopped praying for a new pastor. Henrytown and its people, in all their varied and wondrous forms, gradually became Aaron’s family. His life was rich and content. But then it radically changed in 1941 when America was thrust into WWII. American service men and women needed chaplains. Aaron boarded a train, but this time he was leaving behind his adored wife and children, and the many treasured souls of Henrytown, Louisiana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF PENNY - A Henry Po Horse Mystery Penny is the daughter of one of the owners at Staten Island Downs, a popular New York race track. Everyone agrees that she's a knockout. When she disappears, her father calls in a favor and Henry Po, an investigator for the Racing Commission, is asked to find her. But as Po begins to dig, he finds more than a missing girl. He lands in the middle of a feud between Penny's father, the self-absorbed Benjamin Hopkins, and his former partner and self-styled lothario, Paul Lassiter. He also finds a jockey being hounded by a shadowy gang of thugs, possibly part of an ongoing race fixing investigation. Could the two cases be connected? And what about the lady jockey, Brandy, who suddenly seems so interested? Is she all that she seems? Po has more clues than he knows what do with, and they may just add up to murder. "Robert J. Randisi writes so effortlessly—in a fast, lean style, with dialogue so real you might well be eavesdropping—it's easy to overlook his sharp characterization and breakneck narrative drive." —Max Allan Collins "Robert Randisi has long been held as a master of the genre." —Michael Connelly

When the Indian agent once again fails to live up to his promises, he is run off by the Kiowa. Tay-bodal—a healer and member of the Rattle Band—is enduring a personal crisis, and is therefore not in the best frame of mind when he is called to investigate a murder among the bands. The son of another chief, has been murdered. The one accused of killing him is the same man who has stolen Tay-bodal's wife. Unless Tay-bodal can put aside his own dislike and prove the accused innocent—and quickly—there will be war, tearing apart the Kiowa Nation. “In her debut novel, Death at Rainy Mountain, Mardi Oakley Medawar proved a Cherokee can bring the Kiowa of another epoch alive for us.” —Tony Hillerman “Recommended for its setting . . . strong mystery. . .and a moving ending that captures the passing of friendships and Kiowa society.” —Booklist “Native American traditions, culture, and intelligence lend the whole a meaty authenticity, tempered by Tay-bodal’s pragmatism and overweening compassion.

Book Synopsis Murder at Medicine Lodge by : Mardi Oakley Medawar

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Another great storyteller is emerging.”—Tony Hillerman Award-winning author Mardi Oakley Medawar In 1867, the Kiowa travel to Medicine Lodge, Kansas, along with the Comanche, Arapaho, Apache, and Cheyenne to meet with representatives of the U.S. government and to sign peace treaties. But not all of the Kiowa agree that the peace treaty is a good thing, and tensions between them and the U.S. Army ("The Blue Jackets") are running high. So, when the army bugler disappears and White Bear, chief of the Rattle Band, finds his bugle out on the plains, the army command assumes that White Bear has killed the man to steal it. To make matters worse, the bugler's body is later found—murdered—out on the plains. With the army set to try White Bear for murder, and the Kiowa set to declare war if he is not found innocent, Tay—a healer amongst the Kiowa—is charged by the Principal Chief to investigate and clear White Bear's name. With very little time before an army tribunal is to be held, Tay-bodal must find out the truth about the bugler—a man he doesn't know—and what might have actually happened out there on the plains. "Medawar, a Cherokee, reveals legendary Native Americans as believable people and offers her readers a comprehensive look at historical Kiowa life and values."—Publishers Weekly "Her characters, white or Indian, are people...This is our history."—Don Coldsmith, award-winning author of Runestone
