About this ebook

"Bonnye Matthews is America’s preeminent writer of prehistoric history." - Grace Cavelieri of The Poet and the Poem from the Library of Congress.

Manak-na's Story, 75,000 BC is book 2 in the popular Winds of Change series, a prehistoric fiction series on the peopling of the Americas.

Manak-na hears of an opportunity to take a great adventure. He has raised his children and feels that his time has come to live his dream. Manak-na adventures from China/Mongolia by boat to Mexico and returns, having promised his wife he will limit his adventures to one. Can he keep his promise?

The Winds of Change novel series views the peopling of the Americas primarily from research over the last 15 years. The series takes the "what if" perspective. What might it have been like if the Americas abounded in human life long before 12,000 years ago?

"What author Bonnye Mathews has managed to do is to expertly craft a series of notably entertaining novels that incorporates new data into an historical fictional accounts that bring these ancient peoples alive." -Midwest Book Review

Author

Bonnye Matthews

Bonnye Matthews, prolific Alaskan author, writes prehistoric fiction. According to Grace Cavalieri, award-winning poet/playwright, book reviewer, and host of The Poet and the Poem from the Library of Congress, Matthews is America's pre-eminent author of prehistoric fiction. According to George F. Steiner, Quaternary Geology and Pleistocene Cognitive Archaeology expert, “Her stories are fascinating and the science behind them is cutting edge.” The novel series focus is primarily the pre-ice age peopling of the Americas, and the novella series continues the same focus with a view of very old individual archaeological sites. There is a brief non-fictional accompaniment regarding her emerging western hemisphere population origin paradigm.

    Ki'ti's Story, 75,000 BCBook One of Winds of Change, a Prehistoric Fiction Series on the Peopling of the Americasby Bonnye Matthews, 2012As the world was changing, and man developing into who we are today, comes Kiti's story of growing up during these tumultuous times.An erupting volcano causes a tribe of people to move - in fear for their very lives. The Wise One - Wamumur, is the spiritual leader of the group, and responsible for guiding his people away from the danger. 7 year old Ki'ti is showing herself to be a special child, one that Wamumur will teach and guide to take over the Wise One position when Wamumur dies.The world is quickly changing, and with time, Ki'ti's people will encounter Others and have to decide if they are friends or foe.Ki'ti's story is a fantastic, absorbing read that I found difficult to put down and was actually sad when the book/journey ended.Undoubtedly, Ki'ti's Story, 75,0000 BC will become a best seller!!

    this book is ok....unfortunately no better than ok.
    I was very excited to read the book, because I love the Clan of the Cave Bear series and similar books.
    Even though this book is not that long, it seemed very repetitive in parts and reading dragged. Usually I would read a 350 page book in an afternoon, but this one took me several days.

    parts were interesting, others were too cliche and too similar to modern society and mores.
