#Ask the Author: Story Behind Hawk's Honor

 


Question: I'm intrigued with the idea of a Native American hottie who can shift into a hawk.What inspired the story Hawk's Honor?

Coming February 28

I cherished my childhood summers at the family cottage on a lake in Michigan. The neighbor next door, a member of the local Chippewa tribe, would thrill us with the legends and dances of his people. He taught us the importance and spirituality regarding the balance of nature. His stories of people who could shift from human to animal at will inspired me to write my own versions.

After writing Eagle Dance, a red-tailed hawk appeared in my yard after a storm and spent the day with me to rest. The large bird sat on the tongue of our snowmobile trailer studying me with dark eyes, rimmed with gold. Through a mist the creature shifted into an incredibly sexy Native American man. With a mischievous grin, he moved in a graceful manner to sit on a fallen log. Jamie Hawke introduced himself as a Chippewa and a Marine.

He quickly consumed a plate of chocolate chip cookies and entertained me with adventures he shared with his best friend in MARSOC. Hawks often endure a difficult time finding the perfect mate and his turned out to be his commander. Eventually, he might have to choose between love and honor. After the enjoyable afternoon, he shifted and flew towards his next mission.

Madame Eve’s 1 Night Stand might help him sort out his feelings. We shall see. Please enjoy Hawke’s story.

OH, by the way...I’ve placed a few Easter Eggs in this story and a few teasers of who gets their story told next.
