From Where The Sun Stands Now, And Then Forever Stands

About the Book

This book is a peak into the mind of a pack of wolves. How they think and how they react to the human involvement around them. It is a fantasy fiction based on factual places which I have been and seen. This approach has never been taken before to my knowledge. The wolves thought waves are spoken in the human tongue therefore I have given them almost human personalities and yet they are all wolf. They interact with a young Indian boy that is almost blind and save him from a near death experience of a spring blizzard. Their friendship grows from this experience which will continue their entire lives. This book is written before the white man came to the plains. Life was simple. The way it could have been, should have been and maybe was. This book is compelling, colorful and will capture your attention.

Cubby and Curly, two young wolves, have attached themselves to Moon Boy which is the nearly blind Indian boy. They will help him and give him the gift of sight. Moon Boy will use this second sight to see above and beyond human ability. This will help him through many life challenges. They will face fierce animals, Indian raids and survive life on the Plains.

About the Author

My family’s homestead was on the Moreau River country on the rolling plains of South Dakota.  I was born in 1936 with a birth defect that gave me limited use of my arms and legs.  However, I overcame many obstacles from shooting a gun to driving a car to painting pictures by mouth.

I went to grade school in a one room school house. Graduated from high school in Dupree SD and then went to SDSU, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Art. I returned to my parent’s ranch until I married in 1971.  My wife, Faith and I, had three children:  Katherine Francis, Melody Jane and Heather June.  I enrolled in the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists. Which is an association were artists all over the world paint either by mouth or foot.  Then in 2002, I lost my wife in a tragic vehicle accident that put me in a wheelchair.

The places I speak of in my book are real. I have been there. Some of the names are real, most I invented. If any person or persons’ names are used in this book it would only be coincidental. I have let my mind run free and dreamed up a world as it should have been, could have been and maybe was. I have enjoyed writing this book and I hope you do too.
