That Native Thomas – författare

Sparkling with magical realism, this book follows nine seemingly separate stories that dovetail in an unexpected and profound climax. It begins with a mysterious pow-wow to be held inside a colossal tipi, 200-feet tall and 3-miles wide, which suddenly appears on the outskirts of a town that has never hosted a pow-wow. Advertising fliers blanket the area and all of Indian country, billing itself as “The Pow-Wow of all Pow-Wows.” There is a stipulation to the pow-wow though, only full-blooded Native Americans are allowed to dance, drum, or attend the grand event. Mixed-blooded Native Americans and non-Native Americans protest the gathering. Meanwhile, nine travelers make their journeys to the huge get-together, including a blind teenager lovingly transporting the dead body of his grandmother, who was the last medicine woman, to the pow-wow she wanted to attend before her death. None of the nine travelers realize that they are part of something more important, something much bigger than what they all seek from being at the pow-wow. At the story’s end, an epic battle between good and evil ensues that will change the world forever.

Compelling love stories intertwine and combine Native American mythology and realism in a way that only happens in NDN (Indian) City, a rugged place where X-Indians call home. They belong to a race losing their culture and to a generation losing their minds. Once a brave stealing police cars, now a modern-day warrior stealing hearts, Brando lands himself in a love triangle that comes full circle with Two-Rivers and Morning-Dew. In another circle, mythical beings, Grandpa Snake and Grandma Spider, try to rekindle their ancient love through the pursuit of the evil beings, Brother Buffalo and Deer Lady. Good medicine and bad medicine battle for both sacred love circles. In the end, true love is tested through one single act, a kiss. Native Love is a Native American romance novel unlike any other, an authentic love story for the ages.
