Sundays are always a good day for reflection...

While a lot of people have children graduating I am reminded of that back to school, first week of school assignment...

"What I did over summer break"

I started writing my 4th crime novel in the summer of 2025.

I made a goal to write a 1,000 words a day, which isn't easy. Some days it was more, but most days I hit my mark.

Ive written and published about 1,904 pages😁

From July to February I wrote 187,516 words. Those words became, my 4th book...

"That Long Dirt Road" .

It's the story of several police agencies ( in California, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and South Dakota) searching for a group of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women ( MMIW) ✋️

Not enough attention is paid to this under reported group of victims.

These pictures are a part of the photoshoot for the book, taken in my home town of North Fork, Ca. with Native model Nylan Daezie Marvin. It's is a place I lived for many years. A place I will always call home!❤️

Thank you for the amazing photos from Ramona Christina Marvin, and Photographer Erika M Loretz

In the coming weeks the book will be available on Amazon.

If you like legal thrillers, crime drama, murder mysteries, and native folklore, this is the book for you

Here's a little preview of what's to come...

...no one heard the faint thumping coming from inside her trunk on highway 287 just north of Fort Collins, Colorado. She wasn't even sure if anyone knew she was missing. Her hands were zip tied together and her eyes and mouth were covered in duct tape...

...Fresno police officer Raquel Molina released the slide of her department issued Glock sending a volley of 9mm rounds down range at her attacker struggling to re-load as she lay bleeding on the ground in Central California...

...Bureau of Indian Affairs officer Sequyah Lewis fought to keep her head above water after being swept away by the raging Wind River in Wyoming. She didn't know then, but soon, the three of them would be linked together...forever!
