SHE BRINGS BEAUTY TO ME — New Book in Editing Plus Sale! Sale!

by

Howdy!

And welcome, welcome to a terrific Tuesday!  Hope y’all are doing well!

Well, today I have some news!  Just typed THE END on my newest effort, SHE BRINGS BEAUTY TO ME.  Deep breath.  Of course it goes into editing now, which is a whole process all on its own.  But, it is a wonderful feeling to type those words at the end of writing a story.  So I’m going to share the cover without the words written on it — this is the full scope of the “painting.”  But it’s such a great cover, I’d like to share it.  

Hope you like it.  Okay so now for the news.  I have two series currently on sale for a short time.  The first is my most recent series, The Medicine Man Series and the second is The Lost Clan series.  All the books in these two series’ are discounted.

So let me give you some details on each series.

Starting last Monday, two of my e-book series’ went on sale:  the first is the entire three e-book Medicine Man series.  The second series is the four e-book series, The Lost Clan.  Both of these series’ are solid historical romance, Native American, but also have more of a paranormal element than what I usually write.  But, I should also say they will only be on sale for a short while.  If you’ve ever wanted to pick up either of these series’, now might be the time.

 

The Medicine Man Series

The Medicine Men: often misunderstood in our world today, these men used their faith in God, the Creator, and the Great Mystery to guide them in helping the people of their tribe.  They had an ethical code they dared not blemish.  It was known to them that if they strayed too far away from the straight and narrow path, they might lose their ability to heal those who were ill or injured.  Black Elk, medicine man of the Lakota and Fools Crows, another medicine man of the Lakota, have told the story of how difficult the narrow path was to keep.  These men never used black magic and shunned those who did.  These men were also beloved by their people and were often as important — or even more important — than the chiefs.  Because of the spiritual nature of these men, these stories, while being solid historical romance, contain more of the paranormal element than my usual stories.

 

The Lost Clan Series

Thunder—you have heard him, he is everywhere. He roars in the mountains, he shouts far out on the prairie. He strikes the high rocks, and they fall to pieces. He hits a tree, and it is broken in slivers. He strikes the people, and they die. He is bad… Yes! Yes! Of all he is most powerful; he is the one most strong. But I have not told you the worst: He sometimes steals women….—- George Bird Grinnell from his book, Blackfoot Lodge Tales

Long ago a Northwestern American Indian Tribe angered the Thunderer because of their greed.  The Thunderer’s children sought to bring peace between their father and the people of the tribe.  However, instead of peace, several warriors killed the Thunderer’s children.

The wrath of the Thunderer was quick and exact, and he would have destroyed all the people within the tribe, had not The Creator intervened.  Instead of death, The Creator decreed that the tribe would live only in the mist in a shadowy existence.  However, He also gave the people a chance to undo the curse.  Thus, within every generation a youth could to be chosen by each band of the tribe to go out into the world and do all he can to try to break the curse.

These stories are about four different young braves who are chosen by their band of the tribe to enter into the real world, and, with their every breath, try to undo the curse.  They are given only the hint from The Creator that they must show kindness to the enemy.

Well, that’s all for today!  I’d love to hear from you!

I’ll be gifting the first book in the Medicine Man series, SHE STEALS MY BREATH, to a blogger today and I’ll be gifiting the first book in the Lost Clan series, THE ANGEL AND THE WARRIOR, to a different blogger.

Come on in.  Leave a comment.

    • Gosh, Debra, it really is. When I at last get to type those words, it’s quite a great feeling. Then, I sleep. : )
      But, of course, once this book is edited — and sometimes even before it’s finished editing, I start the next story.

  6. Hello Kay! I’ve read the Medicine Men series! Loved it! I’m not sure on the next series. I’ll have to look! LOL Congratulations on finishing your new book! I love covers! Especially those of the painted versions! Call me old school, but you just can’t beat those! It’s a history in the past and therefore seems to suit the book to me! But, my love is of the past, so I’m inclined to read and see the past in beautiful paint! I enjoy your books Kay! Full of American Indian heritage along with American history! Now, I’m off to see if I have read The Lost Clan series! And looking forward to your new book! Bless you dear friend!

    • Hi Tracy! Gosh, thank you so much for your great post. Yes, I love the old covers, too. And this one, I think is really gorgeous. For me, it really captures the hero and the heroine, as well as hte landscape. You know, I didn’t like history in school, but reading it on my own — and first-hand accounts — I can’t get enough of it. You know, if you have the Lost Clan Series, that’s okay. If you win, you can pick whatever of my books you’d like. Yes, now that it is truly in editing, I can relax — at least for the next few days. Then, I get to start on the next book while this one’s being edited. : ) And, Bless you dear friend, also.

  8. Good morning, Congratulations! I love your book cover! Both your book series sound great! So very nice that the ebooks are on sale, unfortunately I dont read ebooks though as I am not tech savvy at al and dont have a reader. Have a great day and a great week.

    • Hi Alicia!

      Wonderful to see you here on the blog. No worries on e-books. I remember you don’t read e-books and as soon I can, I’ll try to bring about gifting a paperback. Thank you so much for your gracious compliments, Means a lot to me. Do well and thanks for coming here today.

  9. Karen, I always enjoy your tales as they give me a look into the culture of the Indians, whom I have been so enthralled with for a very long time. I am one of those who feel the Indians were so abused and cheated to be pushed farther and farther from the land they made their own, as there was no other human on this earth until the explorers. Why does a man or woman from a different country believe they have the right to push people around like chess pieces? Also, they treated them like animals and, today, some still do it.

    • Hi Judy! You know, like you, I love the history of these people. I so wish our cultures could have learned from one another. What a great society that would have been, I think. Unfortunately, there seem to be those in society who have to destroy all that which others have created. Deep sigh. Thank you so much for coming here today and leaving such a wonderful message.

    • Thank you very much, Linda. Your compliments go right to my heart. : ) And thank you for your well wishes. Also, really appreciate your coming to the blog today and for leaving a message. : )

  15. Hi Karen, I have always loved reading your books for a number of years now. All have been very enlightening as to the culture of our Native American people & the love they have of the earth & sometimes the white people who took more than they gave.
