Today is a big day as I introduce you to book three—Coyote Smart. I don’t think there could be a timelier subject than human smuggling. The book is not a political statement, but simply a novel about those touched by the issue, and once again how the resilience and grace of the human spirit envelopes each of us. Here’s a little enticer!!
The dying season begins each spring along the 2,000 mile stretch of the United States and Mexico border, but the term is not used in reference to the parched land or the animal carcasses that waste in the dry gulches and deep gullies littered with cans, bottles, clothing and syringes.
Instead it applies to human beings: poor, desperate people in search of a dream. In many cases, the dream turns into a deadly nightmare because of men like Maxwell Collin Ridgeway III, kingpin of the largest smuggling organization in the United States.
Ridgeway is COYOTE SMART, a fact that would be easy to miss by his humble beginnings as the son of an illegal alien. Turning against his own people, he is determined to be powerfully rich and inhumanly brutal, and he is successful at both —until he meets a young lawyer named Faith O’Brien England, who sees him as the most despicable, vile human being she has ever met.
Their encounter may be brief, but what it brings, changes his life …and eventually hers.
