Shape Shifter a Comanche Fable
Here’s the link to ‘Shape Shifter a Comanche Fable.’ This will be the last draft I post as the book is almost complete. The story has gone thru its own shape shifting – I’ve changed the beginning and ending quite a bit. Hope you enjoy the story!
Okay, so I ended up taking a little longer on the re-write of my fable. The new draft will be ready to post on Friday. Here is today’s Comanche word…
Here is the Comanche word for today… I thought I’d use some of the words found in my Comanche Fable/Story. Check back on Friday for a new revised draft of Shape Shifter a Comanche Fable!
Below are 2 ROUGH SKETCHES/IDEAS of what my book cover will be. Help me choose a cover by letting me know which one you like best. And YES, I do have a favorite! If you have not read my fable/story yet, I will be uploading a new draft on Friday as I’ve re-written the beginning of the story and made changes throughout. Thanks for your help!!!
Currently, I’m working on a Native American Children’s Opera. Where did I start? I historically researched my tribe in depth. Then I pulled all the nursery rhymes, myths and legends I could find. There were many visits to Oklahoma, meetings with tribal members and elders – thank you to everyone who helped with this journey! Soon came the words only to realize a fairytale, or maybe a better description would be a fable, was in the making. Below is a link to my very first published piece of literature Shape Shifter a Comanche Fable. It was a lot of fun to write… now I’m in the final stages of writing the opera. VERY exciting and what a great adventure!!!
