I was born in Chesapeake, Virginia
on April 19th, 1979. I was raised within the American Indian
religion and was taught great respect for the earth and all its living beings.
Powwows, sweat lodges, vision quests, you name it, I’ve done it. I was the
weird kid who would confront kids on the playground in elementary school when
they squished a bug. I would very sincerely tell them what they were doing was
morally wrong and then I would pray for the bug to come back as a butterfly in
its next life. I grew up in the Bible belt.
I grew up admiring my father,
Barry Weinstock, as an author. He took me around the country to different
places so he could research and write his Wilderness Survival books. One of his
greatest works, “The Path of Power,” was written with a great medicine man,
Sunbear. When I was twelve I started hand writing novels. My first one was two
thousand pages. My dad always encouraged me and would rave about my writing. He
gave me the confidence I needed to keep writing and follow my dream. My daughter,
who is twelve, is currently working on her first novel. I hope to continue the
legacy.

Hi love your site. My father was Cherokee but sadly I never knew him. My mother took me away at a young age and I was brought up in Australia. I am happily following your blog, if you want to check out my website its www.chkarasilverwolf.com and from there you can see my blog
ReplyDeleteBlessed Be!
Thank you so much Kara! I will return the follow! I am so sorry you did not get a chance to meet your father! Was he full blooded Cherokee? Amazing! Do you research your heritage much? The Cherokee were amazing. My mother gave me a good dose of Cherokee, 1/3 I think. One of my characters in my booked is named Cherokee. Had to throw it in there! Your site is beautiful too! I am following you on Twitter as well. Please let me know if you would be so kind as to do an author spotlight for me or perhaps a review swap???
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica
ReplyDeleteYes my father was full blooded Cherokee and my mother was spanish/irish.
I would be very happy to do an author spotlight any time from april 22nd and love to do a review swap. Contact me on my email chkara.silverwolf@bigpond.com

Hi -
ReplyDeleteSaw a post of yours on Book Blogs. You mentioned a button swap. Sounds good!
Have a look at my site, www.uttleystake.com and if you like what you see, grab my button and let me know, then I will put yours on my 'buttons I've grabbed' page.
I wonder whether we might swap reviews. But the book I have out now is kind of a beast. It's about schizophrenia. I'm publishing a more accessible memoir later this year. That might be more appropriate (unless you have an interest in Sz)?
Anyway let's link up! Do you have free chapters anywhere?
Email: Eugene at uttleystake.com
Cheers!

Can I just say wow you are rich in heritage that is a blessing abd your writing reflect where your heart is. Wonderful very taken by you
