Coyote Sky

Facilitator Joseph has outlasted entire civilizations during his twenty-thousand years of service to Dr. Zeus, the twenty-fourth century Company that created immortal operatives like him to preserve history and culture. The year is 1699 and Joseph is now in Alta California, to imitate an ancient Native-American Coyote god, and save the native Chumash from the white Europeans.He has the help of the Botanist Mendoza, who hasn't gotten over the death of her lover Nicholas, in Elizabethan England. Lately though, Joseph has started to have a few doubts about The Company. There are whispers about the year 2355, about operatives that suddenly go missing. Time is running out for Joseph, which is ironic considering he's immortal, but no one ever said that it was easy being a god.

Kate Winters, author of the popular mystery series The Masters, finds herself in a bit of a predicament—she doesn't seem to be able to write any longer. So when her old friend and wealthy widow Brenda invites Kate to spend the summer in Coyote, New Mexico, Kate decides that a summer in Coyote might be just what she needs to clear her writer's block. Leaving behind the Dallas heat—and her girlfriend Robin—Kate retreats to the high mountain desert and soon finds herself surrounded by Brenda's eccentric friends and artists. But it's the local sheriff, Lee Foxx, who soon grabs her attention. It doesn't take long for Kate to discover that Lee has a penchant for dating the young tourists that flock to the river canyon each summer—and that Lee has no intention of ever settling down. Then an unexpected visit by Kate's girlfriend sends everyone scrambling. Torn between safety and desire, Kate has no idea which way to turn. And as for Lee—she can't quite believe that she's actually fallen in love... for the very first time in her life.

Alors qu'elle souffre d'une panne d'inspiration pour écrire son prochain livre, Kate Winters, auteur d'une série de romans policiers à succès, se laisse convaincre par sa vieille amie Brenda d'aller la rejoindre pour passer l'été à Coyote, une charmante petite ville du Nouveau-Mexique. Loin de Dallas (et de sa compagne Robin), dans le décor à couper le souffle des canyons et du désert d'altitude, Kate se retrouve entourée de personnalités excentriques, artistes et nouvelles connaissances de Brenda. Mais c'est le shérif du comté, la fringante Lee Foxx, qui retient bientôt toute son attention. Lee pratique assidûment le flirt avec les jeunes estivantes qui viennent faire du canyoning dans la région, et ne semble pas près de s'assagir. Jusqu'à ce qu'une visite impromptue de la petite amie de Kate vienne brouiller les cartes. Tiraillée entre la sécurité et le désir, Kate ne sait plus à quel saint se vouer. Quant à Lee, elle a du mal à reconnaître qu'elle est tombée amoureuse pour la première fois de sa vie. Traduit de l'anglais (É.-U.) par M.Labrot “Étant donné qu’il s’agit d’un roman rose, on ne se pose pas la question de la fin, on sait qu’elle sera à notre goût et que l’héroïne Kate filera le parfait amour avec Lee la shérif (si, si, UNE shérif...). Mais que d’obstacle pour en arriver là! Kate a des principes. Rassurez-vous, elle n’est pas hétéro; toutefois, elle a une compagne qui ne l’emballe pas mais à qui elle estime devoir rester fidèle, et Lee est une cavaleuse qui lève toutes les minettes à peine majeures qui passent à sa portée. Sur cette trame certes convenue mais exposée avec toute la sensualité et le suspense nécessaires, se greffent des personnages secondaires hauts en couleur, comme trois allumées artistes... Est excellente aussi la description du métier de Kate, écrivain de polars...” Hélène de Monferrand, Lesbia Mag. "Gerri Hill nous offre une histoire magnifiquement construite dans le décor éblouissant du désert d'altitude du Nouveau Mexique... Les personnages ont les défauts qui nous permettent de nous identifier à elles et de les comprendre, et Hill est passée maître dans l'art de dévoiler à la fois leurs forces et leurs faiblesses au fil de l'histoire."

Hailed by Dr. Andrew Weil as a book “that must be brought to all who seek true health,” Coyote Medicine is an engaging and essential testament to the power of alternative healing and recovery methods that lie beyond the confines of Western medicine. Inspired by his Cherokee grandmother's healing ceremonies, Lewis Mehl-Madrona enlightens readers to "alternative" paths to recovery and health. Coyote Medicine isn't about eschewing Western medicine when it's effective, but about finding other answers when medicine fails: for chronic sufferers, patients not responding to medication, or "terminal" cases that doctors have given up on. In the story of one doctor's remarkable initiation into alternative ways to spiritual and physical health, Coyote Medicine provides the key to untapped healing methods available today.

Rain, now a 12-year-old, is visited once again by the eagle, but this time in a dream. As Rain sleeps, Sky Heart, the eagle, sings a song to him that ends with the refrain, 'a boy must help us.' In the song, Sky Heart provides clues about strange vanishings on the Medicine Cave Indian Reservation. Thistle, the rabbit, has suspicions that Coyote is behind the disappearance of fossils from an ancient turtle, the sudden evaporation of water from the reservation's rivers, and the ominous absence of a 7th grader from Thunder Rock Middle School. Searching for the meaning of the dream, Rain seeks the help of Boomer (Thunder Cloud), Simon, and Hummingbird. Unknowingly, the four friends are drawn into the coyote's game and the criminal activities of a dangerous fossil poaching ring. Deep within the gullies of Shell Ridge, an escarpment that borders the bed of an ancient sea, Rain follows Coyote to a mysterious cave where he discovers the origins of the reservation's water and confronts the notorious fossil thief, Vernon Smeed -- risking everything to save one that he loves. With his pranks and deceptions, Coyote puts Rain through many tests. The trickster teaches the boy lessons that will last a lifetime, but he, too, learns an important truth -- Sky Heart has chosen well. The great bird has entrusted his messages about health and the wisdom of Native knowledge to a remarkable boy whose strength is founded in the steadfastness of friends and love of family.
