Book excerpt: What happens when a young girl is called to do the bidding of Spirit at a spooky horse ranch? In Book 1 of the Thunder Rose Collection, we meet Moxie Montego who works nights at a high end Dallas strip club. Diego Escamilla bartender turned ranch hand brings Moxie to what is supposed to be a relaxing outing at Thunder Rose Ranch run by Pamela Cartwright, her daughter Amber, and Edgar "River" Whitetail a Native American healer and animal communicator. Why would a high end stripper, gentle-souled bartender turned ranch hand, horse whisperer, and lonely socialite all be called together at Thunder Rose Ranch. Spirit has pulled them together to solve the mysteries of Thunder Rose and the ghosts and spirits of the land have conspired to bring them together to complete a hero's journey that none of them could have imagined. In this first book of the Thunder Rose Collection, a mysterious box promises hope and faith while an ominous force called The Screech threatens the very core of humanity and all that is good trying to manifest in this world.
