When a mother is struck by lightning in the early stages of pregnancy, is it any wonder her child is a little strange?


Glenna Anoli is a beautiful teenage girl who hardly ever talks, and when she does, it's mostly to companions only she can see. She calls them Shiners. People think it's all in her head, but they're more real than anyone could imagine. They come to Glenna's aid whenever she's in trouble. And she's in trouble a lot. Predators are drawn to her as moths to a flame, but lightning has a tendency to strike those who seek to do her harm. It's a mystery, but one that makes her that much more alluring to the good and the evil alike.


When Glenna finds herself entangled with a drug-addicted preacher who believes she holds the key to an ancient prophecy, her journey takes her from the red dirt of Oklahoma to the beating green heart of the Amazon rainforest. Friendship, love, and a powerful connection to the native Gurani people await her there, along with a mystery of near Biblical proportions. Together with her loyal Shiners, she uncovers long-buried secrets, dispels the darkness of a decades-old murder, and reclaims stolen land. Transformed from a mysterious young woman to a deity revered by the Gurani, and ultimately, an internet sensation, she becomes a beacon of hope in the digital age.Prepare to be spellbound by a tale of magic, mystery, and the enduring power of the human spirit in the most unexpected of places.

Biggs, John T.: - Everything John T. Biggs writes is so full of Oklahoma that once you read it, you'll never get the red dirt stains washed out of your mind. The tribes play a significant role. No authentic discussion of the state is possible without them. Traditional Native American legends are reworked and set in the modern era, the way oral historians always intended.One of John's stories, "Boy Witch" took grand prize in the 80th annual Writer's Digest Competition in 2011. Another won third prize in the 2011 Lorian Hemingway short story contest. Eighty of his short stories have been published in one form or another, along with several of his novels.
