I’ve always held a special place in my heart for the Southwest. I really enjoyed Suzanne’ Bratcher’s debut novel, The Copper Box. Plus, I’ve lived in both Arizona and New Mexico. So, when Suzanne told me about her vision to write a series of books set in the Four Corners states, I was in!
Suzanne writes from experience. She spent most of her adult life in Arizona and traveled the region extensively. Being a retired professor, she doesn’t just visit a destination–she studies it. Conducts research. Immerses herself in the history and culture.
Don’t roll your eyes and think this book must be some boring documentary. It’s anything but. The story starts with a bang and doesn’t let up until the final confrontation between good and evil. Yes, the book includes history. Yes, it includes culture. But, those elements are skillfully woven in amidst the threads of suspense, mystery, a hint of fantasy, and a touch of romance. Magical realism is the technical term for this fantasy sub-genre.
Kokopelli’s Song takes readers on an adventure that winds through a thousand-year-old legend, as the story’s heroine, not-quite-18-year-old Amy, searches for the secrets of her past.
