I love your cover, Mary. Very striking. What I would ask: just where could you have found the inspiration to write about "A female Blackfeet Fish & Game warden...." I'll check our local book markets, then turn to the internet, if required. Thanks for the writeup.

Female Blackfeet Fish & Game wardens walk the streets of Browning, capital of the BLackfeet Reservation. Almost all of these main characters were inspired by people I've known over the years since 1961, although the last "cut nose woman" died just before I got here.
