O ovoj e-knjizi

She was a passionate priestess in the Anasazi tribe with a mysterious past and the gift of prophecy. She was called Coyote Woman, and was prepared to make every sacrifice for her people. The Majestic Mayan-Toltec Eagle warrior was determined to seduce the young priestess into his arms and onto his land until she sensed a calling by the people of her tribe and she fled to answer their needs as Sun Priestess and healer. When their endangered future seemed to be collapsing in their hands, she helped them. But when she became the source of another battle--between the warrior and a priest of her own tribe--her powers as Sun Priestess bring to her a different fate. 

O autoru

Born in 1941, Judith Redman Robbins, then Judith Redman Breme, was raised in Dover, Delaware, except for summers, which she spent in southern Delaware in Rehoboth Beach. She attended the University of Delaware on scholarship, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in music education, majoring in voice. She is also an honorary graduate of the Settlement School of Music in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She went on to earn her bachelor’s plus thirty in special education. Her first marriage produced two wonderful boys, David and Jonathan; the older of the two owns and runs his own successful business in Florida, and the younger writes, sings, and arranges music for the Discovery Channel.
 
Robbins’s hobbies include all aspects of music: singing, dancing, and playing the keyboard. She also enjoys gardening, walking, researching, and an educational, historical, or prehistorical book. During the last twenty years, she has traveled extensively, both in the United States and abroad. In 1986, an Indian Holy Man advised her to go to Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico. When she visited, she had a feeling of déjà vu, which resulted in the inspiration to write her first three novels in that location. She spent the new two summers backpacking into remote places to locate Anasazi ruins, interviewing archaeologists, and doing on-site archaeological digging. She also spent time with the Hopi and Navaho Indians, taking part in some of their ceremonies.

After twenty-nine years of teaching music and only a month before retirement, having been informed by Richard Curtis Associates that she had a publisher, she turned to writing with a passion. Coyote Woman, her first novel, was closely followed by her second, Sun Priestess, both taking place from 1054 to 1064 CE. In December 2000, her third novel, Moon Fire, was released. Judith is now working on her fourth novel, which takes place in Crystal River, Florida, in the year 1000 CE.
