For the foreseeable future, romance has been relegated to simmer on a back burner, while my crime fiction series, The Horsemen, takes priority. I’ve finished EXILE (Book One), and am working on INNOCENCE (Book Two).
And when I say there’s a twist, I’m not kidding.
Twohorse, an American Indian of mysterious origins, has the ability to perceive truth from lies, guilt from innocence. He can experience every nuance of a violent crime through the eyes, mind, and heart of the victim, even if that person is a woman too traumatized to speak, a small child without words for what was done to her, or a murdered teen whose body has been long buried.
And he doesn’t need to rely on the justice system to punish the guilty. With Twohorse as their messenger, the victims do that themselves.
Not unlike his totem animal, the great horned owl, he hunts at night.
According to American Indian lore, the owl can be protector or destroyer. Owls are said to have prophetic powers, can see behind masks to the true good and evil in a person. And although owls never trust anyone, they have the courage to follow their own instincts.
The owl is also said to embrace its shadow-self, the dark side of its nature humans try so hard to deny and control.
