       “Where is it?” she shouted. “I need it so no man can get within three feet of me. No man. Including you!”

      He took a step closer.

      “Don’t!” she shouted, backing up. “Don’t come any nearer.”

      Being filled with fear was more dangerous than being filled with anger. That went for people as well as animals. Black Horse held his arms out to his sides as he would while approaching a cornered horse. “No one will hurt you, Poeso,” he said quietly.

      “I know they won’t,” she shouted. “I won’t let them! I won’t let anyone hurt me ever again!”

      The way she shook entered his heart, made it pound with an unknown anger. She had been mistreated, badly, at some time, someplace. “I won’t let them either,” he whispered.

      “I won’t let you hurt me.”

      “I will not hurt you,” he said. “I will protect you. I will stop all others.”

       Author Note

      Black Horse and Lorna’s story came to me as an image of a young woman stripped down to her underclothes, standing in the middle of a river surrounded by Cheyenne warriors. At the time I was in the midst of writing Saving Marina, and didn’t have the time to fully embrace a new story. But I found a few novels about the Cheyenne.

      Most writers—I’m assuming—are also avid readers, and years ago I formed the habit of reading every night. Sometimes it’s just a chapter or two—other times I’ll stay up half the night to finish a book that I just can’t put down. Therefore, even after spending hours writing about the Salem Witch Trials, when I went to bed I’d read about the peaceful Northern Cheyenne.

      I must say those two cultures merging as I fell into sleep produced some peculiar dreams!

      Such is the inner world of a writer. Our imaginations just don’t know how to rest!

      I sincerely hope you enjoy spending some time in Wyoming as Lorna discovers Black Horse is, indeed, Her Cheyenne Warrior.
