I was looking for costume elements for the cover of my new book, The Comanche Girl's Prayer, at the St. Vincent De Paul thrift store on Congress when I heard this song for the first time. I stood in the middle of the store, clutching an old bedspread as the words poured out of the overhead sound system.
We can make this leap
Through the curtains of the waterfall
Some wonderful memories flooded into my mind, the Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman episode where Dr. Mike and Sully jump off the side of the cliff, The Sackett books where some mountain man would get shot to doll rags and hide out behind a waterfall until he somehow was magically cured and came out to fight another day. I grew up listening to historical fiction and watching Westerns. There is something almost magical about these lands of mountains and tumbleweeds, of dashing cowboys flying through the canyons on sure-footed steeds.
So I can't wait. I can't wait to release my western story, about a courageous young woman (who is one-fourth Comanche) who follows the call of God to teach young children in a hidden Comanche/Kiowa camp. And while no one has a black or white hat or jumps off a waterfall, there will be plenty of excitement, daring and horseback riding.
You can pre-order the book on Kindle here. Please note, the cover will be changed, I'm still waiting on it!
If you would like to start the adventures with the first book, The River Girl's Song, you can get it here.
Enjoy the song!
