His new novel, “Flying Hawk, Slave Boy, 9,500 BC: ‘Thoughts and Ramblings’ By” (published by WestBow Press), draws from the Kiowa stories he recalls to tell the tale of a brave slave boy named Flying Hawk.

An excerpt from “Flying Hawk, Slave Boy, 9,500 BC”:
“Kuska walked up along the stream then taking a willow branch entered the stream and beat the water. Soon fish were swimming around the trap, Kuska eased into the trap pitching fish of all sizes out. Flying Hawk was laughing at the antics that Kuska was going through when she slipped and went in.”
