When a tattoo artist visits the Navajo Indian Reservation, what he discovers is more than what he bargains for
Kathleen Martin announces the release of 'Called Back'
NEW PHILADELPHIA, Ohio, July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kathleen Martin has lived with the dream of becoming an author since the age of 12. Realizing that dream took 50 years. Today, that dream is finally a reality with the release of her debut novel, "Called Back" (published by Balboa Press), a story about time travel and the timeless search for the knowledge the spirit needs to complete life's journey.
Mike Aul thinks he is living the good life in Ann Arbor, Michigan. At the age of 35, he is working as a tattoo artist and running a lucrative business selling his Native American spiritual paintings online. Then a reoccurring dream reveals the image of an elderly Native American man from the days of the wild west. Following his instincts, Mike paints the image onto a canvas and it quickly becomes one of his best pieces. When the owner of a Phoenix art gallery invites him to display his work in a Southwest exhibition, Mike seizes the opportunity and includes the painting of the elderly Native American in his collection. His life quickly takes a turn for the bizarre when a Navajo grandfather named Arthur White Horse, visits the Phoenix gallery and claims the man in the painting is actually an old friend of Mike's who is reaching out to him from a past life.
"He travels across time with a message for you," Arthur declares. Mike quickly dismisses the old man's words as Indian mumbo-jumbo. However, his questions begin to mount when the man in the painting suddenly begins to haunt his every move. Who is this mysterious "out of time" friend and what message could he possibly have for a young Michigan artist? Hoping to find the answers to these questions, Mike accepts Arthur's invitation to visit him on the Navajo Indian Reservation. What he discovers in the mystical land of the Navajo is more than he bargains for and he returns a very different man.
"According to the Navajo, the human conscientiousness is beginning to reawaken to the possibilities of time travel, alien ancestors, and the paranormal. The ancient knowledge held in trust by the Native American shamans is a message of hope for all mankind. Their stories of how the sky people helped save mankind after a catastrophic upheaval, are as old as time itself. Now is the time for their stories to be retold to the young before they're lost forever. Our future may depend on them," Martin says. When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, she answers, "That anything is possible if you believe in magic."
