Full Circle

Michael "hawk" Spisak

we are each our own devil and we make this world our hell

~Oscar Wilde

available @ http://wordbranch.com/full-circle.html


Full Circle is the untold story of the forgotten children of the Indigenous First Nations of North America. The story of the half-breed, the mix blood, the unaccepted.

Jackson Themal is one of these lost children. Raised in the foster care system, as a boy becoming a man he loathes what he is devolving into.

Jackson will learn of his heritage, of the traditions, ceremonies and culture of the Ancestors whose ancient knowledge beat a cacophony in his veins. With quiet desperation he seeks to belong, to live up to a gift he had no knowledge of given to him by a mother he never knew.

But what if there isn't anything left to return to? What if all that remains is a perversion of all that was? What effect will learning what he never wanted to know, about his People, about himself, have on this young man?

As historical fact paints a dark and bloody fictional tale Jackson will come to understand. Completing one circle while initiating another, his journey will end at the beginning and begin at the ending until what he becomes is what he has always been.

 

A Test of Honor

Michael "hawk" Spisak

Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honor lies. ~Alexander Pope


What is the meaning of life? Why are we here, in this form, this existence? Throughout the ages, many have sought an answer to these questions. A Test of Honor is one mans journey to find those answers. Not the answer provided by religion. Not one provided by occupation or education. An individual answer; an answer that makes sense, if only to him. A journey of one man who, upon realizing there must be more to him, seeks to discover exactly how much. What is his character? Is he a man of honor, of integrity? How far will he go to find those answers? A Test of Honor - the trails and tribulations, the heartache and joy one man experiences, in his attempt to define himself.

reading, it is obvious you are very intelligent and highly educated. your story is constructed well; a hint of seduction and intrigue. if one is looking for mind candy, they wont find it here. your book forces deep thought and introspection. ~hawk view book

OFM!. I read what I could, but had to stop before I threw up. Basically, your work is a rehash of every Native American stereotype perpetuated since the invasion of the Taino People in 1492, the subsequent invasion of North America and the genocide that followed. Obviously, you know how to w... view book

THE PROMISED LAND For those of us who live on an Indian Reservation, in my case POW Camp # 322/Pine Ridge SD, the last thing any of us wants to do is read about it.
