Change  is Coming

The night her family came under attack changed Kangee forever. Weeks later, her mother is still missing and is feared dead--until in dreams Kangee connects with her mother and learns that her mother is trapped with an evil spirit named Ardong. Kangee is a SpiritWalker, but one without many of the gifts and talents of her people yet she is the one chosen to save her mother. How can she, a foolish daydreamer, possibly save her mother? 
She turns to a young shaman for help.
 
Night Warrior refuses to accept his calling as Shaman.  He is a DreamWalker who knows the danger of wielding too much power.  Ambushed and left for dead, Night Warrior would have died had it not been for the SpiritWalker who saved his life and in doing so, has given him the same abilities. Now wields more power than he'd ever imagined.  When dreams connect him to Kangee he can no longer fight his destiny.

But Evil lurks in the shadows, just a dream away.  Night Warrior and Kangee embark on a dangerous quest filled with love, passion, fear and hope.  Can they find the courage to defeat Ardong, free Kangee’s mother and accept their place in the world as The Choosen?  Could the answers lie in their dreams?
 
Autumn Dreams will take you into a world filled with beauty and darkness and a love that goes beyond this world.


Excerpt:

Unable to stop herself, Kangee watched Tatonga. The woman ate and talked. Talked and ate. She looked as though those two activities were her favorite pastimes, she thought. An elbow in her ribs from her sister made her sigh. “I didn’t say a word,” she grumbled.

 “Didn’t have to. You reveal your thoughts on your face,” Blaze said.
Kangee huffed out a breath. Eat, she told herself. Ignore them. But when Tatonga shifted so that her knee touched Night Warriors, Kangee clenched her teeth She was tempted to drop a whirling wind over the woman and fling her deep into the forest.

She sighed and pushed her food around with her finger. No matter how tempting the image, she would not give in. Not because it was a misuse of her power and not even because her grandmother sat to one side of the couple. It was her own innate sense of fairness.

It wasn’t the woman’s fault that Night Warrior was Kangee’s Spirit mate. The woman believed she had rights regarding Night Warrior. And maybe she did. Kangee glared at Night Warrior. Given any bit of encouragement, she might be tempted to let the wind toss him somewhere deep in the forest as well.
As though reading her mind, Grandmother glanced over, her wise eyes sharp as the tip of an arrow and just as deadly with their piercing stare. Kangee kept herself from squirming. She’d done nothing wrong. Yet.
To her surprise, Grandmother smiled, winked, and then gave a tiny flick of her finger, so slight that Kangee almost missed it.

The sharp pop of fire sent a shower of sparks high into the air. Kangee’s eyes widened when a slight shift in the air sent the hot sparks toward Tatonga who was leaning over Night Warrior, so close, all he had to do was put his arm around her to embrace her.


AUTHOR INFORMATION:

SUSAN EDWARDS resides in California with her husband of thirty + years. She love animals and has five cats include a pair of two-year-old kittens (they are her babies) as well as two adorable Chiweenie pups named JJ and Abbey. The four youngsters in the pet department make her smile, laugh and sometimes groan each and every day. Recently, she got temporary (ha!) custody of Shasta, her daughter’s three year old, Great Pyrenees.
Susan also enjoys crafts of all sorts including quilting, sewing, cross-stitch and knitting. Knitting and crochet are her current passions. She is also an avid gardener. Through her love of all things Native American, she designed a 26-foot Medicine Wheel Garden. It’s a big project but one that she loves, except when the weeds threaten. Right now, it’s uncertain who is winning this war!
You can follow her progress on her website. Camping, fishing, biking and hiking (when not hot) are other outdoor pursuits she and her husband enjoy.
She is of course, an avid reader and hates cooking and housework. While writing, she listens to a wide variety of music, including Neil Diamond, Celtic, Native American, New Age, Classical, and mood music (bagpipes and howling wolves drive my family nuts). Her current favorites are Blackmore’s Night and David Lanz.
