Ella Clah has found her place on the Navajo Reservation, in her tribe, her clan, and her family. She has seen the Diné at their worst—and at their best—as they balance the modern era with the traditional Navajo way of life.
The Navajo are building a nuclear power plant on the Reservation. Though the tribe voted for the plant, there are those who believe that nuclear power is inherently dangerous—and particularly so for the Navajo, due to past uranium mining operations that contaminated land and water and sickened many Navajo workers and their families.
A group of activists is determined to do whatever is necessary to stop the plant—assault, sabotage, domestic terrorism. When a fellow Navajo Police officer is injured in an attack aimed at Ella’s boyfriend, Ella vows to do whatever it takes to find the terrorists and bring them to justice.
David and Aimee Thurlo have been married for thirty-nine years. Aimee moved in next door to him and it was love at first sight. Three weeks later, they were married.
David was raised on the Navajo Indian Reservation and left Shiprock to complete his education at the University of New Mexico.
Aimee, born in Havana, Cuba, has lived in New Mexico for thirty-nine years. They currently have three poodles and one ex-rodeo horse. Their home life can best be described as chaotic - but interesting.
The Thurlos have learned to write as a team, though they also enjoy throwing all kinds of projectiles at each other. They've ceased to buy breakables. They believe in recycling. Fortunately, David is good at ducking, and Aimee can't pitch.
The Thurlos write romantic suspense for Harlequin Intrigue, are award winners and the authors of the Ella Clah mysteries, Sister Agatha series, and the Lee Nez vampire novels.
The Thurlos' novels, translated into many different languages, are available around the world.
They have their own web site at http://www.aimeeanddavidthurlo.com
