Every life has both highs and lows. It's wonderful when we stand on the Mountains, but how do we survive the dry desert? Walk in the Desert is a book with two true stories from my life that may give solace to others knowing they are not alone.Valley of tears is only a six-week period, which covers diagnosis to death of a young adult daughter.Summer on Cape Cod is the story of brain tumor surgery and recovery. This should give hope to the many who will receive that diagnosis. It is not always a death sentence.
Desertwalk is an odyssey into that unusual world of cactus and creosote, of intense heat and vast space. It is stories of exploring desert trails, experiencing elusive wildlife and learning to appreciate the spirit and temper of that stark, mysterious and hauntingly beautiful land where rains are seldom and winds sweep the sands. Over 100 delicate and realistic watercolor paintings by the author illustrate the chapters and contribute to the inspirational tone of desert understanding.
What if someone you love gambled on her life?Games are serious business on Salaria, and the stakes are high. When Kia's older sister, in a desperate bid to erase their family debt, loses the game and forfeits her freedom, Kia is determined to rescue her.Disguised as a Salarian, Kia becomes Idaro in order to move freely in this dangerous new culture. When she arrives on Salaria, she learns it's a world where a few key players control the board, and the pawns are ready to revolt. Kia joins the conflict, risking everything to save her sister. As if she doesn't already have enough to handle, Agatha, the maddeningly calm and unpredictable Select who lives life both by-the-book and off-the-cuff shows up to help, along with handsome Norio, a strong-willed desert girl with her own agenda, and a group of Salarian teens earning their rite of passage in the treacherous desert game.What can an interpreter and former thief possibly do in the midst of all this to keep the people she loves alive?
Shelton says of his work: "I consider myself a regionalist and a surrealist. I have lived in the desert for ten years and hope that my work reflects that fact." In the forty-seven poems in this collection the poet moves backward and forward through time but always in the same landscape, the desert-mountains of southern Arizona, which foster his surrealistic view of his interior conflict. He is followed by peculiarly insistent voices from the past.
