"So who's Coyote?" I asked, trying to ignore the effect he was having on me. "You?"
Steale laughed easily, though it did little to hide the torment behind that mask of indifference he wore so well.
"Coyote's a scavenger, Jack of all trades. The Native Americans call him the trickster - the one who brought chaos down on the world." He shrugged as if altogether unconcerned. "Original sin."
"Is that what you are?" I asked, keeping it light despite the growing knot in my stomach.
He kept his profile to me, eyes straight ahead as he drove. "Sure you want to know?"
I couldn't help wondering if I had cornered the coyote, or if the clever trickster had cornered me.

Della Van Hise is the best-selling author of KILLING TIME - without a doubt the most controversial STAR TREK novel ever published!

Della Van Hise is a native of Florida, transplanted to California at the age of 21, who has subsequently sunk her roots into the high desert near Joshua Tree National Park. She has not personally seen any aliens since around 1992, but there is rumored to be a secret UFO base underneath her house. Della's writing started around age 11 on an old Smith Corona typewriter. No, not an electric one. A real antique, made of metal and heavier than a wet coffin. Her first professional novel was best-selling KILLING TIME - the controversial Star Trek novel which was recalled and re-edited in 1984. More recently, Della has written extensively in the non-fiction genre, with titles such as QUANTUM SHAMAN: DIARY OF A NAGUAL WOMAN and SCRAWLS ON THE WALLS OF THE SOUL. "Quantum Shaman" focuses heavily on the author's metaphysical explorations and experiences, while "Scrawls" is a continuation of those journeys many years later. If you enjoyed the works of Carlos Castaneda or Don Miguel Ruiz, you'll enjoy the non-fiction works of Della Van Hise. In addition, Della has written professionally for Tomorrow Magazine and other prominent science fiction publications. Her most recent fiction works include Sons of Neverland (an award-winning vampire novel); Year of the Ram (a space-faring gay romance); and Coyote (a contemporary paranormal romance novel combining the mystical aspects of martial arts and the mystery of a UFO crash. Della lives in the desert with her partner of 34+ years, Wendy Rathbone. They share their home with cats, dogs and a variety of desert wildlife.
