A LITTLE ABOUT KAREN KAY, the authentic American Indian romance author.
Karen Kay's love of writing is combined only with her love of the American Indian culture and this is most evident in her writings by her depiction of the Indian way of life, incorporating little known facts with the overall picture of the way the Indian truly lived.
"Hollywood in the 50's and many cowboy/western novels of that time," says Kay, "did not paint a true picture of the American Indian. And anyone who will spend any time researching, will discover this for himself.
"The American Indian was a gentleman, in the true sense of the word. Roaming the prairies, he did not fight or kill the white man until so betrayed and driven by the incoming culture, the Indian had no choice but to turn and defend his homeland.
"My books center upon the American Indian culture as it was--a true picture--not colored with the sensationalism of death and destruction as was depicted by the newspapers and 'eyewitnesses' of the time, who often carried more political ambition, than truth.
"I do exhaustive research," says Karen Kay, who prefers to be called Kay. "Even to the extent of spending my honeymoon (I've just recently 'tied the knot') on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana.

There was only one way for Black Lion to melt the Thunder God's anger;
listen for a sacred white-man's song -- and sing it perfectly with the one
who introduced him to it. He joins Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and travels
to London, where he encounters the daughter of two opera singers -- the most
beautiful woman he's ever seen. However, Suzette Joselyn is already engaged
to another man...
But the two are destined to meet again when Suzette shows up in America,
pregnant and abandoned by her fiance. Reunited with Black Lion she finds it
impossible to turn down his offer of marriage to save her child from life as
a bastard. But she doesn't realize that her brave new husband is consumed
with a mission that may force him to choose between his people and the woman
he loves...

If you are at all concerned about whether or not you can defend yourself, please visit this wonderful self-defense site: http://www.frontsight.com/ |
Please, if you haven't already been to this site -- www.freedomtofascism.com -- please go and have a look at the new movie, AMERICA, FROM FREEDOM TO FASCISM, by Aaron Russo, or go to google.com and watch the movie for free. At this time and in this place, this might just be one of the most important things you can do. Another wonderful site is: We The People Radio Network -- http://www.wtprn.com. Go to Show Archives and listen, listen, listen. My favorite is the Michael Badnarik show, whois the self-admitted Step-father of the Constitution. Also Katherine Albrecht, an expert on the new RFID chips, and what these might mean to your own personal liberty. Here's hoping you'll love this site as much as I do, as you become more and more informed about the Constitution and our precious, God-given rights. Love, from Karen Kay
