easy questions. Here goes!

he/she fictional or a historic person?

What
is the main conflict?

McWhorter reports for the only television news station in northern Arizona, a
land of high mountains, rocky canyons and the Navajo Nation. She falls in love
with tribal cop Trace Yazzie, who honors his native beliefs of ghosts and shape
shifters. Taylor struggles with believing in Navajo mysticism until while
investigating pot hunters looting into Anasazi burial sites a Navajo shape
shifter targets her.

Next stop on the Blog Hop
Daisy Banks on September 1st!
The character you will meet will be her Lyrical book
Timeless. Here is the link http://bit.ly/1lPa08Z
Blog Sabine Priestly on September 8th. Website: http://www.sabinepriestley.com
Sabine grew up in Phoenix, but has lived in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Texas, Massachusetts and Florida. She has a BS
in Electrical Engineering Technologies and did everything but her thesis for a
Masters degree in Cultural Anthropology, looking at the nexus of culture and
technology. She was a Project Manager flying back and forth between Tucson and
Boston when she met her very own alien. She spent a year running the QA
department for a seriously cool and under appreciated computer telephony system
then moved to California where she ran a small tech support group for a company
making DSL routers before anyone knew what DSL was. A life long fan of Science
Fiction and Romance novels, Alien Attachments naturally gelled in her imagination.
Sabine lives in Florida with her husband, kids, cats and whole mess of
characters in her head.

I clicked in here through the Kensington Google loop thing, and imagine my surprise to see my friend Sharon right there, front and center. It's a small Kensington world, eh?
ReplyDeleteLove the premise. I'm looking forward to reading it.
(McWhorter is the name of a famous linguist I'm kind of obsessed with, so there's a plus there, too!)
