About this Book:

Were Agnes to be dreaming at this point, her dream may very well have been as follows. She may have pictured herself standing, as though on a passenger platform, like the times she had traveled by rail. An old woman, in hat and coat and sweater, she held the carpetbag that she carried, when she journeyed on the conveyances of humanity. Water and air, she dangled, with her crimson promise of fire and her memory of earth. She offered herself like a prayer to the lion. Her fragrance danced into meanings like, "Oh, sweet lion, take me onto your tongue and into your jaws. I am already dancing in the nerves of your nose. Let me race like a river to your stomach and beyond. Let me fill your need. Let me be consumed and flourish. Let me blossom again as energy from the tips of your arteries. Let me gather. Let our breath become one. " And so it did. The droplet opened the flood gates. The lion bit the throat, attached itself like a nursing kitten, and sucked the hot liquid. Agnes entered the lion like Cleopatra floating on the Nile. Open wide! and she joined with waters gathered hours earlier from the creek that ran nearest to the meadow and the smoldering cabin ashes.

About the Author:

A former goatherder himself, Jay Dyck has experienced the violent thrill of seeing a mountain lion in the pen with his own goats, up close, in the middle of the night. As a published poet, as well as a gifted songwriter and virtuoso classical guitarist, Dyck graduated with honors from the U.S. Navy Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. He currently resides in Port Royal, South Carolina, where he is working on his next book.

Book Review:

"Mountain lions, cowboys, witches and murder," is how Jay Dyck describes his newest novel. Most of the characters in this spellbinding adventure don't ever get to see Tawngness, the wise mama cougar who prowls through the California scenery. Three generations of country people, a man named Johnny, his daughter, Cat One, and her son, Vikor, find their lives woven with murder, magic and mystery. Another Johnny rides in the mountain moonlight. A family of fugitives hides in the arsenic mine. An old herdsman writes his memories, and out of it all steps Diana, the shy backcountry goddess. " ...a sweeping story of life in the mountains of Southern California ...chilling, thought-provoking ...takes the reader on a startling ride down dusty lanes and up mountaintops ...this important book is a cross between Zane Grey and John Steinbeck..." --Michael Clark, Las Vegas. "Riveting!" --Bill Westfall, Washington.
