She Talks to Eagles by Maggie Blackbird
He’s shocked that the beautiful girl in the picture is alive…
Maybe the stories of the notorious Route 66 are true. Road trips don’t result in encountering ghosts, but they do for Collin Bird. When he spies a beautiful girl hitchhiking during a thunderstorm, he can’t believe his eyes. It’s Rosemary, a young woman from his Ojibway community who went missing over forty years ago.
Rosemary Kakeway is dead. Her only hope to reach the spirit world is Collin. Before departing to the place of her ancestors, she seeks vengeance against her killers, and Collin is the man to help her do just that.
A ride with Rosemary through pea-soup fog brings Collin to 1977, where he meets a very much alive nineteen-year-old Rosemary. The bold and wild girl is nothing like he imagined her to be as she introduces him to a time he embraces. Knowing they are meant to be together, neither wishes to say goodbye, but that’s up to Rosemary’s spirit in the twenty-first century to decide.

Born and raised on the rez, I’m an Ojibway chickie who now calls the country home, somewhere in Northwestern Ontario.
I read, write, golf, and love music. My life revolves around my hubby and our fur babies (two beautiful Alaskan Malamutes).
When my older sister passed me her copy of Paradise Wild by Johanna Lindsey, I became hooked on romance. Although I spent most of my life spinning tales, starting with Ken and Barbie, I didn’t consider pursuing publication until the summer of 2010.
I’m a reader first and a writer second. My top romance authors are Johanna Lindsey, Sue Harrison, and Rosanne Bittner. In the mystery category, I adore Maureen Jennings and James Runcie. As for Indigenous Peoples literature, Richard Wagamese is at the top of my list. Since I scare easily, I limit my paranormal reading to Anne Rice. Check out My E-Reader to see what I’m currently devouring.
I’m also an autobiography, biography, and memoir junkie, especially stories about my fave rock bands, golfers, groupies, and historical figures.
On a more personal note, I live and breathe music, and listen to it all, from the Everly Brothers and the Eagles to Burton Cummings and Waylon Jennings, but heavy metal and hard rock are my genres of choice. My fave bands are Megadeth, Collective Soul, Rival Sons, Stone Sour, Volbeat, Madam Adam, Judas Priest, and Van Halen.
My TV viewing is mostly dedicated to (period) murder mysteries. I’m hooked on Grantchester, Sherlock, Murdoch Mysteries, and Poirot–but I can’t forget Fargo the TV Series, and the DP World Tour and PGA Tour broadcasted by the Golf Channel.
What I love above all else are my early morning walks with the Mals–just us, nature, and God for an hour and a half.
