When River Willows is accused of a murder she didn't commit, her life takes a turn toward the sanctuary of a world existing at right-angles to our own. Combining the mysticism of martial arts and the romantic conflict of a young woman torn between two powerful men, COYOTE takes the reader on an epic journey of dangerous secrets, military cover-ups, and the infinite heart of the peaceful warrior. _____________ "So who's Coyote?" I asked, trying to ignore the effect he was having on me. "You?" Steale laughed easily, though it did little to hide the torment behind that mask of indifference he wore so well. "Coyote's a scavenger, Jack of all trades. The Native Americans call him the trickster - the one who brought chaos down on the world." He shrugged as if altogether unconcerned. "Original sin." "Is that what you are?" I asked, keeping it light despite the growing knot in my stomach. He kept his profile to me, eyes straight ahead as he drove. "Sure you want to know?" I couldn't help wondering if I had cornered the coyote, or if the clever trickster had cornered me. __________ Della Van Hise is the best-selling author of KILLING TIME - without a doubt the most controversial STAR TREK novel ever published
