His Crazy Horse has walked with me every day for the last 35 years, long before I wrote STONE SONG. I commune daily with the one called by his People “Our Strange Man.” I have lived with Native people for decades and learned from them. The ties of kinship, deep humor, and the caretaking of this earth. We set down that great crazy clock and learn… Miracle, miracle, all is miracle when looking through life with the single eye of the heart.
STONE SONG: Nominee for the Pulitzer and winner of the Spur Award, ‘Stone Song’ is the classic, and extraordinarily told, story of the Lakota Sioux mystic warrior, Crazy Horse. Of all the iconic figures of Native American history, Crazy Horse remains the most enigmatic. To this day he strides across American history as a man who lived—and died—on his own terms.
“’Stone Song’ is a deeply spiritual story about the soul journey of a great and mysterious American hero.” ~ The Dallas Morning News.
RAVENSHADOW: From a three-time Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers Writer of the Year, this tale of lost faith and crowning redemption follows one American Indian’s spirit journey to heal his past and claim his future.

A young man rejects what he was taught in church, and then is lost in a wilderness of doubt and skepticism. He wanders for years. At last he becomes fascinated by Crazy Horse, a Sioux chieftain who saw a different way: The path of the sweat lodge, the sacred pipe, and the vision quest. His search leads him to the friendship of a wise Shoshone man who shows him what doors to authenticity and awareness these ceremonies can open.
GOING HOME: Two New York Times bestselling authors take you on the ultimate spiritual and romantic adventure. This is an exquisite story, often humorous, about the power of love over death, the foolishness of time, and a family restored.
“Going Home is a wonderful, sensitive novel, with passages of poetry and philosophizing in just the right places. What a great idea, rolling with the river, river towns and music, and the people unique at each place along the river. Having Mark along for conversations hit the right tone. I am sure the book will live in readers’ hands for a long time, especially those needing to communicate with their dreams, loss, and renewal.” – Rudolfo Anaya, Bless Mi Ultima

He lived his dream in clashing cultures—that of Native American vitality and that of high European society. He mastered both worlds, but was ultimately forced to choose between them.
