About Call of the Owl Woman. . .In sixth-century Peru, the Nasca people have flourished for centuries, their faith and ingenuity keeping the desert valleys green in a land where water is scarce. But a prolonged drought now fuels dangerous unrest. Cunning sorcerers and brutal priests vie for control, and Water Guardians like Patya’s father, who refuse to favor the powerful, are under attack.
Devastated by her grandmother’s sudden death, fifteen-year-old Patya retreats into dance and music. She does not want to become a healer like the long lineage of women in her family before her. Even her grandmother had hinted she was born for something else. But, in the wake of a deadly earthquake, Patya must not only help the healers, she must do things she never thought possible. As she begins to conquer her self-doubts and trust her own sense of justice, she will also have to outwit men of power to keep her little brother from being sacrificed by religious extremists at the coming solstice.
As Patya begins to realize and grow into her own power, she also discovers her grandmother’s secret legacy and prepares to step into an unexpected destiny. k. m. huber (Kathi, she/her) grew up surrounded by trees and mountains in the Pacific Northwest. She left her verdant homeland for the desert coast of Peru where she lived for more than 20 years, working as a teacher and librarian while exploring Andean folklore and traditions. She co-created an award-winning documentary about deforestation in southern Peru, and wrote two books published there. Huber's essays, stories, and poetry can be found in Vice-Versa, Earth Island Journal, Post Road, Rougarou, The Macguffin, and Latin America Press, among others. She now lives with her husband in East Tennessee, in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Suzanne Morrison is the author of Yoga Bitch (Random House), which was an Indiebound bestseller, a Crosscut Best Northwest Book and has been translated into seven languages. Yoga Bitch had its start as a long-running one-woman show of the same title, which played in New York, London, and across the United States. A recipient of grants from the Seattle Arts Commission, 4Culture, and Artist Trust, her fiction and essays have appeared in American Short Fiction, Popshot (UK), Litro, Salt Hill, Washington Square, the Chicago Tribune, and elsewhere. She teaches creative writing at veteran centers through the Red Badge Program and is at work on a trio of linked novels.
