YOUNG ADULT DARK FANTASY NOVEL BY WESTON OCHSE & YVONNE NAVARRO WITH COVER ARTWORK BY VINCENT CHONGWhile Matt Cady's parents are contemplating divorce, Regina Running Deer can't grow up fast enough. Together, along with two dead-biker guardian spirits and an immense German Shepherd, they escape to the Black Hills. Steeped in bloody history, the Black Hills is a shadowy world where creatures, real and unreal, would rather see them dead than alive. Finally the cryptic advice of a witch, a fortune teller and a troll, plus the ghosts of Wild Bill Hickok leads them to find the very thing they didn't know they were looking for. And to get it, the must enter the Badlands...and survive."...this reminded me of the early Dark Tower books by Stephen King, although with a darker coloration." - Don D'Ammassa, Critical Mass… (plus d'informations)
Husband and wife writing team, Weston Ochse and Yvonne Navarro, have produced something very special with Ghost Heart. At the center of the story is a very cool kid, a couple of ghost/imaginary friends and his German Shepherd, Kubla Khan.
Ghost Heart is a YA novel and is truly geared to that younger audience. I enjoyed this so much that by the time I was half-way through, I knew I was going to add this to my ten-year-old grandson's Summer reading list. I think he'll really like this foray into the world of ghosts and witches.
The story begins with Matt Cady playing cowboys and Injuns with his constant companion, Kubla Khan. The interaction is playful and real and is watched over by Jacket, his Guardian Spirit and Raison who is the Guardian Spirit of the teenage girl next door, Reggie, who now longer believes in such things.
When Reggie runs away, Matt joins her and it's the start of a great adventure involving bikers, fortune tellers, a giant, the Christmas Witch, vampire kittens and the ghosts of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane and a quest for the War Shirt of Crazy Horse. All in the hopes of keeping his parents from getting a divorce.
In addition to a rip roarin' adventure there are some solid life lessons mixed in with this story that make it perfect for the Young Adult reader and anyone who wants to feel young again.
Ghost Heart is available in both paperback and for the Kindle from Dark Regions Press through Amazon.com. If you have Amazon Prime, you can read it for FREE through the Kindle Owner's Lending Library.

"Nothing ever begins. There is no first moment; no single word or place from which this or any other story springs. The threads can always be traced back to someearlier tale, and the tales that preceeded that; though as the narrator's voice receeds the connections will seem to grow more tenuous, for each age will want the tale told as if it wwere of its own making." --Clive Barker, Weaveworld
