Meet Jan D. Payne, author of “Rabbit Moon” at Victor Lundeen’s in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, Friday, November 15 from 10-12 p.m.
RABBIT MOON: They say you can’t go back home, but Marin Sinclair, end-of-life doula, doesn’t expect her life to be in danger when she answers a mysterious plea for help from a long-ago friend and returns to Dinetah, the Navajo Nation. Her past there holds memories she is reluctant to confront, but what about her life then would make someone want to kill her?
Navajo Nation Police Sergeant Justin Blue Eyes shares a connection with Marin from the past, and he has a few questions of his own when Marin disappears—such as why the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has agents investigating the abandoned uranium mines on the reservation and how Marin is connected.
Marin needs to survive to find any answers, and to do so she is forced to run, going off the grid on her own in the Lukachukai mountains with unknown killers close behind.
Book 1 on the series.
Drawing from her years in the Southwest and on the Navajo Nation, Jan D. Payne writes using themes of courage, regret, hope, and restoration in a world of kinships within differing cultures. She holds university and medical degrees and a graduate degree in Christian Studies. She attributes an early interest in writing to a wealth of family stories, including that of a great-great aunt taken captive by Comanche/Kiowa raiders in 1870s Texas. She is a member of Western Writers of America and Women Writing the West and she and her husband, Jon, live in the Leech Lake area of northern Minnesota with their three big dogs―Kaibab, Rudi, and Orrin.
