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 have a difficult time
finding the perfect mate and his ends up being 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 1Night Stand might help him
sort out his feelings. We shall see.
Please enjoy Hawke’s story. I’ve placed a few Easter
Eggs in this story and a few teasers of who gets their story told next. Reach
