SHAMANESS – The Silent Seer by C. C. Jirón
Born into a harshly primitive world with scarce resources, Kreya is blessed with an extraordinary gift – she can see and know things others cannot – things that are concealed or yet to come. But her gift comes with a curse in the form of a physical disability that renders her mute. Her community rejects her as a useless misfit. She is allowed to survive only because her deep affinity with plants and animals, combined with her uncanny healing and psychic talents, convince her grandmother to train her as the next Shamaness. Her grandfather finds a way to help her communicate which she shares with her forbidden love. Yet, the bullying against her intensifies. Horrified by her growing sense of imminent tragedy, she tries to warn the village, but is blamed for a murder she did not commit, and banished. She narrowly escapes with her life and reinvents herself far across the mountains. Decades later, as a revered but aging Shamaness, she must return and confront those whispering ghosts of her past, despite the frightening visions of her own funeral pyre.

Author Bio:
am corn-bred and corn-fed from America’s heartland. But life’s trails led me to reside in Washington, California, Minnesota, Michigan, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico, with a brief stint in Austria. After 14 years in the travel industry, I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Neuropsychology, allowing me to work with neurodivergent individuals of all ages and train other professionals for the next 20 years. My formal career ended with 6 joyful years running elementary school libraries. Here is what keeps me going through thick and thin: For almost 60 years, I have been a yogini, with ongoing study and practice rooted in traditions stretching back more than 7.000 years. Recently retired, I am finally writing the stories that have been cavorting in my head for decades. My goal is to add kindness to the world, as we sorely need it. May you find compassion, civility, common sense and a little magic on your own trails.
