The Lakota Series by Constance Gillam Genre: Suspense, Crime Thriller

 

  • If you knew you’d die tomorrow, how would you spend your last day?

Visiting as many friends and family as I could. If I couldn’t see them personally, then I’d call them.

  • Who is your hero and why?

This was a hard question to answer. I have so many heroes.

Oprah Winfrey rose from puberty and sexual abuse to establish a global empire. She’s positive and motivational.

Michele Obama, who didn’t let her background limit the heights she could reach.

Kamala Harris, first black, Asian and female vice president.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg a fighter for women’s rights. I love this quote: “Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.”

  • What do you do to unwind and relax?

I’d love to say, parasailing, bungee jumping and motorcycle riding, but I’m not that adventurous. Reading, walking, hiking, watching T.V. and ancestry hunting.

  • Describe yourself in 5 words:

Driven, studious, passionate, impatient, and proud.

  • Do you have a favorite movie?

No. I have several: Avatar, When Harry Met Sally, Notting Hill, Possession, The Photograph and any disaster film.

  • What inspired you to write this book?

Under Cover of Night is book #3 in the Lakota series. I’m excited by the idea of pairing people from different cultures in a love match and imaging how they would adapt and change to be together.

This latest book in the Lakota series explores the strength of family bonds and the extremes we would employ to keep them safe.

When Zora Hughes receives a job offer from Cosmopolitan magazine, she knows she has to take it and reestablish her career on the New York fashion scene.

A Fight for Freedom. A Fight for Love

Julia, a mixed-race woman, born into slavery in Louisiana escapes brutal plantation life only to be captured by the Comanche. She holds tight to her dream of Canada and freedom as she unwillingly witnesses the acts of savagery the Indians perpetrate against the whites.

She is reluctantly drawn to a visiting Sioux warrior, Sunkawakan. The newcomer is both gentle and savage, compassionate and ruthless. Falling in love with him will mean an end to her dreams of freedom in the North.

In a vision, Sunkawakan Iyopeya saw white soldiers corral his people like cattle onto barren land. He visits the Cheyenne to convince them to band with him and his tribe, the Lakota Sioux, against the soldiers at Fort Laramie who would destroy the Indian way of life. While in the village, he meets beautiful but fiercely independent Julia. He is torn between his attraction to her and his duty to his people.

Torn between love and duty, pride and an intense need, they must both decide if this new love is worth the change in their destiny.
