Blurb: Kit Golden Eagle is running.
From poverty, from abuse. Forced to live by his wits, the Ojibwe teen slowly
succumbs to living a life of hate and lies.
Josiah Foxglove is given a second chance when he
takes over his family's spread in the shadow of the Snowy Range. A veteran of
the Gulf War, he came back broken in body and spirit.
Marcus Colton buried his long-time lover and best
friend three years ago. Lonely and still grieving, Marcus finds solace in
keeping his business afloat but that doesn't help him get through the long,
dark nights.
Three damaged souls converge as violence wracks the
small community of Centurion, WY. The town protects its own so when Kit Golden
Eagle shows up, it’s easy to place blame on the stranger. It looks open and
shut, but for Josiah and Marcus the facts simply don’t add up.
Something’s rotten in Centurion, something that smacks
of a hate crime…
Marcus whispered. He wasn’t sure why he did, but
it seemed appropriate, although his idea of stakeouts was limited to what he’d
seen on TV. The actors always complained it was boring. It wasn’t, not if your
stomach was tied into knots, and the whiskey you chugged in a fit of pique
decided to revisit you in the form of acid reflux.
Josh hissed through the speaker, “Don’t know if
we missed him, or if I’m farting in a stiff breeze.”
“Don’t mention stiff, Foxglove.”
Josh snorted, the sound rocketing through the cab
and sending Marcus into a giggling jag. He’d barely gotten himself under
control when Josh yelped, “Sunny bitch. I think I see the van. Damn fool’s
coming down that mountain dark. Jesus Christ.”
Marcus warned, “Best not to start our engines
until he’s made the turn and gets ahead of us.”
“Copy that. I’ll take point. Stay back. I don’t
want you running up my ass if I have to stop fast.”
“You’re making it hard to concentrate, cowboy.”
They’d been teasing each other, slinging innuendo like hash at a country diner.
It had helped diffuse the tension.
Josh murmured, “Here he comes.” Marcus tensed,
waiting. “What the hell?”
“What? What’s going on?”
“He just flashed his left turn signal.”
Marcus frowned, perplexed. “That’s kind of dumb.
Why’d he do that?”
“Signaling?”
“Signal? Who for crying out loud? We’re the only
idjits out here.”
“Maybe we aren’t.”

can be found day dreaming and listening to the voices in her head.
