Who is Eagle Boy?


Why was Eagle Boy riding in the Lukachukai mountains?  Why did he come down and ride into the canyon?  How did he make sure his cousin, Eddie, could find him?  And how did Eagle Boy convince Eddie to stay and go with him even though Eddie was very much afraid of ghosts and witches which he had been warned were in the Houses of the Enemy Dead?

Eagle Boy is a strong, skilled, determined young Navajo.  Read all about Eagle Boy and Eddie and many others in The Adventures of the Smoke Lodge Clan:  M's Coming of Age and His Amazing New Friends.  Send an email to the address below for details about how to get your copy of this exciting eBook.  Thanks!

Welcome to The Adventures of the Smoke Lodge Clan!


Hi folks!

I am happy to announce that I have finished writing and editing my first eBook.  The title is "The Adventures of the Smoke Lodge Clan:  M's Coming of Age and His Amazing New Friends," and it is a mystery.  This book was written primarily for young people in the 11-16 years old range, and I plan for this to be just the first in a series of books about the adventures of the Smoke Lodge Clan.  Although it was written primarily for young people, I believe that anyone who loves animals and a good mystery will enjoy reading this book.

The two main human characters are Detective M Whitehorse and his grandfather, Storyteller.  They are both full-blood Navajo Indians, and "M" now works for the Navajo Tribal Police after completing his school work in New Mexico.  Storyteller has been his mentor through all the years since M lost his mother when he was only 7 years old.  This book is about their first adventure with their special friends after M completed his work at the University of New Mexico and went back to the reservation to help Navajo youth like he promised his mother he would do.

I am very satisfied with the way this book turned out.  It has several subplots which are necessary parts of the story, and M's special friends who are introduced to him by his grandfather get their first assignment from him.  It's an exciting and moving book which helps to teach a lesson.  I hope you have a chance to read it.  Let me hear from you at M's email address, and we will work out the details.  Thanks in advance!
