This is not your standard Western, nor is it historical. Ghostdancer is a mystery/thriller, an action/adventure story set on the Colorado/New Mexico border, where the author has lived for many years. Meet Jack Parnell Mackenzie, a troubled, would-be cowboy searching for his past. It is also a tale about a young boy's love and the shame that stripped him of a life of sanity. Set from 1905 to 1969, Old Tom Sullivan lives 80 years in mental darkness. His is a story of child abuse, reincarnation, and retribution for crimes cast in previous lives. When an elusive peregrine falcon leads Parnell into the secrets of a past life, he meets the exotic Ghostdancer and witnesses her death. Young Tom Sullivan appears to him as he was at the age of thirteen. Anyone drawn to stories of the West, mysteries, or tales bordering on the supernatural and the mystery of reincarnation, will be caught up in this hard-hitting novel. Beware: Once you pick it up, you won't be putting it down.
