The Darkness Rolling is a historical thriller. Stealing Fire is an historical mystery. Moonlight Water is a contemporary novel. And The Untamed Sky is a Young Adult book. All four dive deep into Navajo customs, traditions, secrets, spirituality, and humor. And, of course, the extraordinary landscape is the character driving each book. We lived in Navajoland for two decades, and these stories are our love song to the people and to the rich, red earth that welcomed us home.
The Darkness Rolling, first in the Navajo Country Trilogy, takes place just as World War II ends. Seaman Yazzie Goldman is on his way home from the war to his family’s struggling trading post. While his grandfather, Moses, battles the aftermath of a stroke, Yazzie’s mother fights to keep their legacy alive. But the arrival of a Hollywood film crew—including director John Ford and actress Linda Darnell—brings unexpected opportunity, and danger. And an old family enemy is watching every move . . .
“This novel’s power will stay with me for a long time.” – Donald Bain, Bestselling author of the ‘Murder She Wrote‘ series
In Stealing Fire, Navajo detective Yazzie Goldman steps in to stop a stranger from harassing an elderly man. He finds himself protecting Frank Lloyd Wright—the world’s most famous architect. Wright is on the run, carrying secret sketches of the Guggenheim Museum, and he’s being hunted. A ruthless Chicago gangster, a traitorous apprentice, and the gangster’s son will do anything to steal the plans . . . and silence anyone in their way.
Drawn into a dangerous game of shadows, Yazzie shelters Wright in his own home, putting his family in the crosshairs. With filmmaker John Ford back in Monument Valley and movie star John Wayne riding to his aid, Yazzie must navigate a storm of betrayal, mysticism, and cold-blooded murder.
“Old Hollywood meets up with Navajo mysticism and murder, set against the stunning backdrop of the southwest. History and thrills run rampant on every page, and readers will have a blast!” – Suspense Magazine
Moonlight Water is a contemporary novel where lost dreams, ancient secrets, and unexpected love collide under the vast skies of the Navajo Nation. Robbie, a San Francisco rock musician reeling from heartbreak and a shattered career, leaves behind the noise in search of something real. After faking his own death, a vision sends him on a cross-country road trip . . . one that ends not in fame or fortune, but to a new life in the sacred beauty of the Southwest.
“The ghosts of Mark Twain, Jack Keroac, and Joseph Conrad haunt Moonlight Water, the latest in the long and honorable tradition of road stories, but with 21st century angst laid in. To this, the Blevins writing team has introduced the themes of spitiual awakening, personal redemption, love rekindled – and a thumping good dective story.” – Shamus award-winning author, Loren D. Estleman
