A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Forget everything you know about how the West was won ~ The Spirits have a story to tell. The history: On the day after Christmas in 1862, thirty-eight innocent Dakota Sioux Indians were hanged in the largest mass execution in United States history. The story: One hundred and fifty years later, Kyle Ghostkiller has the chance to go back and save them. Kyle has just returned to town to accept a medicine bundle he has inherited from his ancestor, a man named Ghostkiller who was unjustly hanged in 1862. The ancient bundle contains tools giving Kyle the power to time travel. Arriving into town just after four teenagers are found brutally murdered, Kyle becomes the FBI's prime suspect. With Special Agent Lee Tarkington hot on his trail and a jilted, childhood sweetheart sabotaging his every move, Kyle escapes into the past where he must confront dark forces responsible for the murderous curse or risk losing the "38" to the hangman's noose. It's a fierce battle between good and evil that Kyle must win. Only the sacred ceremonies of his ancestors and Kyle's sheer determination will save his grandfather, but can he change history for the Great Sioux Nation? Author Lynny Prince takes readers on a journey blending history and the supernatural by empowering American Indians with the ability to change history by altering the past. Time travel, mystery, and the supernatural intertwine in this edge-of-your-seat thriller. The first novel in the The Ghostkiller Trilogy, Scattered Leaves sets the stage for the series of American Indian novels based on historical events that change history in favor of American Indians.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Lynny Prince is a Kentucky native who inherited her passion for reading and writing from her mother, a published poet and literature addict. Prince penned her first book at the age of twelve, but her passion quickly took a turn when she was given a guitar as a Christmas gift. She spent upwards of twenty years as a professional musician and songwriter, something she is still passionate about today. She stepped away from the stage in 2003 to focus on caring for her mother who was suffering from cancer. It was during this time that she began writing Scattered Leaves: The Legend of Ghostkiller. Prince's first novel is based on her husband's family, the Dakota Sioux of Mankato, MN. As a family member, Prince has the insider’s perspective on the life of the Dakota people and the struggles that they face today. She and her husband founded Red Road Awareness in 2007, a non-profit that assists American Indians in crisis. During this time, Prince also began producing book trailers and public service announcements for clients. Ms. Prince is currently producing a trailer to generate interest in a film titled "Ghostkiller," based on her first book. The trailer will ride the film festival circuit in 2014. She is also producing a music video highlighting her new single "Ride it Out," that will be used to raise awareness to the horrors of the horse slaughter industry.
