Working on my New book

I recently found out about a distant cousin of mine who had been murdered near val d'or and I was very saddened by this information. All my years of studying and researching this topic I have never thought about looking into my own family. It saddens me to know that my cousin's killer was never caught, and this is often the case with Missing and murdered Indigenous women. Questions are left unanswered and the victims and their families are left without justice.

In my new book, I focus on a character's journey back to eeyou istchee. She is a young girl who is facing a hard time. Without giving away too many details It's overall topic focuses on Missing and Murdered Indigenous women and the fight to journey back to find freedom and peace by going back to our heritage, culture, and traditions. what I love most about this book is the mix of Cree and English. A reader can experience an educational journey into the cree language and learn words and terms in Cree. For the non-cree speaker, it is a mystery and for those who do speak cree, well I hope they find comfort in reading words from their own language in a short novel.
