    About this series

    After the disappearance of Cecilia Edakee's cousin, and the confusion over which one of the law enforcement agencies has jurisdiction over the investigation, Sandy and Ben join forces with Cecilia and her cousin Bea to locate the missing woman. The rag-tag investigative team, baffled by a lack of evidence, must follow any trail they can. This leads them to Albuquerque, Grants and, finally, the Navajo Nation to pull the pieces of this mystery together. 

    To complicate matters, Sandy is pregnant with Ben's first child and he is concerned that the pressure from sleuthing around might be too much for her to handle. While she wants to do all she can for her pueblo 'family,' she must weigh her involvement against the preservation of her pregnancy and personal life. 

    Then matters take a turn for the worse and Sandy has no choice but to thrust herself into the inquiry. Risking not only lif

      THE SPIRIT KEEPERS:  A Pueblo People's Mystery As of January 2014, any income from the sale of The Spirit Keepers will be donated to help support the Zuni Pueblo Youth Enrichment Program Can you escape the wrath of the spirits?      After relinquishing her infant son for adoption, Sandy Jacobs vows she will never let another child down. Now, in an attempt to start life over and put the past behind her, she moves from Philadelphia to teach on the San Sebastian Pueblo in New Mexico. When one of her ten year old students and his family are accused of witchcraft and blamed for the mysterious deaths of two Pueblo children, Sandy has the chance to fulfill her promise. The family is being terrorized by "Boogeymen" Kachina, fierce-looking impersonators of the spirits. Sandy rushes to their aid, but her actions inflame the perpetrators and arouse the opposition of Native born faculty member, Ben Rush. Sandy and Ben clash over the issue while struggling against the attraction growing between them until the harassment culminates in violence. Together they risk their lives to uncover the truth and, in the process, learn lessons as valuable as any they have taught.  Don't miss the chance to read this equally heartwarming and harrowing story, set against a backdrop of mesas, mystery and the magic of the Southwest.      Coming in early 2016  Night of the Shadow by J. K. Winn

      Can you escape the wrath of the Spirits? Sandy Jacobs and Ben Rush are back on the trail of another mystery. The head archaeologist in charge of excavating an important Anasazi ruin on Pueblo land turns up dead. The San Sebastian people, long opposed to the dig because of its potential to disturb their ancestors and stir up trouble, believe the Gods were behind this murder. They want the excavation immediately shut down and sealed off. To make matters worse, someone is taking soil samples near the site and their purpose is unclear. Are they working in conjunction with the Pueblo government to protect the land and its people, or do they have another, more heinous, intent? And does this have anything to do with the murder?  Sandy and Ben turn to the police for answers to these questions, but they are of little help and might be protecting the authorities. Unable to sit by and do nothing, Sandy is again thrust into the role of detective, but without Ben's backing. She's determined to discover who stands to benefit from the archaeologist's death, even though Ben isn't so certain it's a who, but rather a what. Cultural differences they'd put to rest arise anew and marital conflicts surface to complicate an already complex situation. Are the ancestors truly opposed to the excavation and willing to wreak havoc? And, will Sandy be able to discover who's behind the crime before it is too late?
