About the Author



I am a descendent of the Shoshone / Papago (Tohono O'odham) Nation. My story, Was She Murdered? (Jailed Girl Driver, 13, Hangs Self") is a novel based on a true story which occured back in 1956. My goal here is to get others interested in empowering women who have been hurt by an act of violence or rape, and focuses on a "rogue cop" who took the life of a 13-year old Native American girl.
