Second Book...


I've been working on the second book.

Joseph the men in his family are out hunting. Fawn is at home arranging her baby's nursery. She walks outside with the bird cage. Fawn placed her pet on the back porch for fresh air, while she cleans up her house. Fawn walked by the window and much to her surprise a hawk sat on the railing. She walks out to chase it away; with a broom. The hawk wasn't moving...It was going to make a meal of her pet.

I'll share more as it comes about.

Not True...


I was reading an article about NATIVE people.
And man... I wish people would research their info before writing a NONFICTIONAL article.

The writer said, "NATIVE people are no longer involved in their culture; and that the culture is becoming nonexistent.”

 Neah Bay was mentioned by making this statement, “Only the elders know the Makah Indian songs.”

 Well NOT true!

Our culture here in Neah Bay is STRONG, my three year old granddaughter can sing, Yes Jesus Loves Me, in the Makah Language.

We have dedicated teachers at ALL the schools located here in Neah Bay; who are teaching Makah Language and dance.

 The Makah people are not trying to be INDIANs they are Proud Makah Natives. Neah Bay is and will always be one Nation to standout amongst others.

 My book has some truth to it; the Native lifestyle is very much true. I moved here in the 70's and found that I really respect the Makah ways; Family, Love, Respect, and Brotherly concern for each other.

Just had to say….something.

My thoughts and Wishes

You know how we ask ourselves; What is my purpose in life?
Through "Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit" my fictional book; I feel that I'm on the correct path for my life.

I'm trying not to think, I'll never get the support that I need to get my book out to the public.

I feel that my book has a GOOD message, and has real life characteristics of Neah Bay. I pray to God asking him to take over and help me sell MANY books. I feel that my work in writing, editing, publishing, and marketing has some kind of purpose.

Please pray with me, because where two agree upon something here on earth, so will it be done in Heaven.  Ask God to make my book become a magnet to readers. And stores won't be able to keep up on the stock. I know I'm doing my part, and it never hurts to ask for help, right?
