About the Author

I started writing my book Fire Hawk The Shaman after the death of myFather. It was my way of coping with his death. His life is where I got my inspiration to write my book. With my father's life story and someof my own. When my father was 5 years old he became ill with polioand the doctors told my grandparents he would probably die. One yearlater he had braces on his legs and three times a day he had to putmedicine in a boiling pot of water and inhale it to be able to breathe. He wasn't expected to live past the age of 18. My grandmother was born on the Still Water Cherokee Indian reservation in Oklahoma. So shetook him to a Shaman even though at that time Shamanism was against thelaw. A mother's love knows no bounds. It took 2 years and when he came home he no longer used the braces or the medicine. After living a full life he died after his 70th birthday. When I was 4 or 5 years old I fell off a roof and suffocated. People called it a near deathexperience and so I am a traveler. I died and came back I wrote aboutit in my book. Growing up every summer my parents took the family todifferent reservations and I also lived on the Hoopa Indian reservation. In Hoopa I met a Shaman and we became friends. On my own I wentout to different reservations to meet Shaman and work with them to learn firsthand from Shaman. I went through sweat lodges to be able toaccurately write about my experiences. I have worked with Shaman andsome Curanderas (Mexican Shaman) in my area to learn from them for mybook. Finely my book is a way for my father to live again as FireHawk The Shaman.
