I'm excited to announce the release of my new book, "Fables from Blackfeet." This collection of stories opens a window to the world of the Blackfeet people, where the forces of nature and the spirit realm are intertwined, and each tale holds a lesson or a mystery waiting to be unraveled. The book brings to life the ancient fables passed down through generations, tales that still resonate with the power and wisdom of the past.

Among these fables, you will encounter the thunder that does more than roar—it takes what it desires, stealing a woman away and forcing a brave husband to confront Thunder himself in a quest to bring her back. You’ll meet the Raven Chief, who offers his own dark wings as a shield to those daring enough to confront the unknown. His mysterious medicine helps a desperate man journey to the lodge of Thunder to reclaim what was taken, a feat that no mortal has accomplished before. In other tales, you’ll follow a grieving father who dares to venture into the land of the dead, guided by strange dreams and mysterious old women, determined to bring back his wife from the ghostly realm. You will feel the weight of his choices as he navigates a world where one wrong move could mean his death and the loss of his wife forever.

You'll also step into the world of a hunter who sets out on a path no man should walk, encountering a ravenous spirit whose desire for revenge knows no bounds. He learns that no distance is far enough to escape a ghost that clings to life even after death. The campfire burns low as he discovers that some spirits cannot be tamed by courage alone. In another story, you’ll learn the legend of the buffalo stone, a sacred object that grants power to those who possess it. When a starving woman finds the stone, it sings to her and offers a promise of salvation for her people. Through songs and rituals taught by the stone, she brings back the buffalo, breathing life into the land once more.

And then, you’ll read of a band of Blackfeet warriors who stumble upon the mysterious traces of their ancestors. As they follow the path into the unknown, they come face to face with things best left unseen—ghostly camps where past and present blur, and the dead speak through strange signs and hidden medicine. These stories offer glimpses into a world where spirits roam freely and the line between life and death is thin. The fables in this book are lessons in courage, love, and the strength to face what cannot be seen or fully understood. Each story is woven with a sense of wonder, drawing you into a realm where the ordinary meets the extraordinary, and the living share their world with the spirits of those who came before.
