The Secret of Orenda
I've just published an ebook for summer reading called the Secret of Orenda. I worked on it off and on for about three years.
It's about the discovery of a very ancient Indian tribe that has never had contact with the outside world, and what happens when modern life invades their ancient and very magical space.
In it, I explore the way the wisdom of the past differs from the knowledge of present times. The people of Orenda still live by ways that have long ago been forgotten, as we have moved away from a pure and innocent connection with the world around us to a position of dominance over it.
It's not a tragedy, though. I'm very interested in balance, and finding the points of fruitful contact between people. The people of Orenda, of course, understand such things very well.
I hope you have a look at it. Its message is very precious to me, and so far early reviewers on my website (Unknowncountry.com) have responded to it in deeply thoughtful ways.

Sounds wonderful Whitley. I look forward to reading it. Will it be released in paper form some day?

It's a summer reading special, and there aren't any plans to release it on paper at present. My next book between the boards will be Alien Hunter from Tor/Forge in January.
