The Shaman's Secret: Tribe of the Jaguar Book 1 Julie Copp

Publisher Marketing: Is the spirit world real? Can the dead talk? Is Lorinda Mayfield safe when a spirit seeks her out? And if she's not, where can she run when a woman from the distant past chooses to contact her? It's a situation that this modern woman does not welcome. Who would? Life has been pretty normal up until now. Her work as a painter and sculptor keep her busy and fulfilled. But someone in the spirit world has other plans for Miss Lorinda. Anani of the Jaguar Tribe lived around 600 A. D. and she's not taking no for an answer no matter how much yelling or kicking of the bedsheets Lorinda is prepared to do. Anani has a story to tell and a goal that Lorinda begins to find intriguing, despite herself. The shaman's secret is just the start of what lies ahead in this saga of Anani's life and the tribe the shaman created along the northern coast of Venezuela. Visions sent by Anani of life among the ancients fill Lorinda's dreamtime until Anani's need and goal are revealed. But will Lorinda give Anani what she seeks? And what of the boon that Anani withholds, a boon that Lorinda spurns at first? Can these two beautiful, young women unite to complete what the shaman's secret started? The answer awaits you. Contributor Bio:  Copp, Julie Julie Copp brings the story of pre-Columbian aboriginals to life. Her books are part history, part romance and all entertainment. She has chosen to weave her tales like the smoke of her character's firepits through the generations of a Venezuelan beauty's family. Anani, a woman born in 600 A. D. has many of Julie's own artistic talents including the love of stone carving and painting. And yet this author strives to reinforce through her stories the importance of family, belief in consequences of choices and the deep, enduring love of man and woman. All this against the backdrop of the sea and the unspoiled wilderness that welcomed the explorers to this New World. A new kind of history lesson and the affirmation of the magic of words to keep a heritage alive.
