when one least expects!

Stories come from the soul; the soul of the land, the souls of the people, the soul of the earth and the soul of the Great Spirits. Included in this book are stories which can scare you, make you laugh, bring joy and give the reader much to think about.

The range of the tales in this collection is quite remarkable, from a Magic Colt to Body Changing Spirits. They plumb the hidden recess of the human psyche.
