Raven Wolf $19.96 ($24.95 retail) AN AMERICAN ODYSSEY. Burned out with law, Jonas Lundberg sets out to find a simpler life. He buys an abandoned homestead in New Mexico, planning to stretch his savings until he can support himself as a writer. What he doesn't plan is falling in love, not only with the land itself and the chicanos who live there, but with his neighbor's niece. When she breaks their engagement, he is shattered. To make ends meet, Jonas signs on with a small newspaper. This interim job turns into a career that leads him from the Detroit race riots to the Six Day War, and writing under the byline of Jonas Blake, he wins a Pulitzer. The celebration ends when he wakes in jail with no memory how he got there. It becomes painfully clear he must find a different way to live or he will surely die. By Joel B. Reed

Lakota Spring $10.96 ($12.50 retail) AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY. April 1, 1973. It is a good day for dying. That's what the elder told us at the barricade in Pine Ridge. I don't know. He is old, at least forty. His children have children. He has lived his life. What is left for him? Mine is just beginning. I have not fathered a child. Or was the elder teasing? Was he trying to scare us? April Fools! Yet I helped one of the men there load his rifle. I handed him the bullets. I know what they can do. I used a bullet like it when I shot my first deer. It tore his insides apart. So this is no joke. It would do the same to me. It would tear my guts apart. Is this a good way to die? By Joel B. Reed.
