<p>Jessie Cox, born: 1948. Raised on Creek land by his grandmother. A citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. Ex law enforcement, Chief Engineer&#39;s License..Steam Plants, spent several years as a gold prospector, a freelance writer/columnist, and lived/worked in Alaska.</p><p>Thus far there are seven books in the Ray Corngrower series. &quot;The Infant Carrier&quot;, &quot;The House in Banes Meadow&quot;, &quot;Cheechako&quot;, &quot;The Good Red Road&quot;, &quot;The Skinwalker, a John Littlefeather novel&quot; &quot;The Manitou&quot; and &quot;Where the Wind Whispers My Name&quot; are available in both paperback and ebook.&nbsp;These books are based on actual Native American legend and sprinkled liberally with laughter,tears and a writers imagination. Life experience also plays a large part. I find the saying that &#39;you can&#39;t write about what you do not know&quot; to be a truism.</p><p>In closing, I&#39;d like to thank my friends and the constant readers for their valuable input on my tales.&nbsp;My eighth novel &quot;The Spencer Rifle&quot;&nbsp; &quot;Book one of the Trail of Blood on Ice trilogy&quot; is set in the period of just before and during the US Civil War, but is written in the Cherokee and Creek point of view. &quot;Round Mountain&quot; is the second book and covers the end of the Civil War and a few years following. &quot;Washita&quot; is the final book in the saga and is set in the years after the second book. I think the historical fiction fan will enjoy these novels.</p><p>Look for &quot;Moon Dancer&quot; to be on the market soon. Taken from the short story of the same title, it is Book one of the &quot;Sons of Creek&quot; series.&nbsp; Amos Corngrower (Ray&#39;s son) and Tim Littlefeather (John&#39;s son) are the main characters in this series Following in their fathers footsteps against the monsters of Native American legend.</p><p>To the Cheechakos (the new comers, In Alaska Inuit) I&#39;ll say &quot;Hersce&quot;. (Creek for hello)<br /> JC</p>
