From the Author:

Coyote Boy: an original trickster story is a children’s story book I originally wrote in a few hours one Saturday morning. I literary awoke with the entire story in my head, bursting to get out! Starting at 8am, I typed as fast as I could before I lost the voice . Two coffee pots later, it was completed by 11am!

It’s a semi-autobiographical story based on a dream I had when I was around 8 years old. When it was first published in 2015 it was selected by the Southern Ontario Library Association for the First Nation Communities Reading Program .

I’ve never heard that voice since. I think it may have been Coyote whispering in my ear.
