others.
And when release came, it arrived in a great sparkling wash of red
and black and white with hints of blue and yellow. It crashed over
and through her, took her with it as the chants and drums reached a
crescendo.
There was a wrenching sensation, followed by
gray, cold nothingness. And then she became aware.
Immense energy and power gathered and rolled
through her. Not her human form, but a body that was huge,
feathered, the wings outstretched, riding the thermals.
She faltered and immediately felt talons on
her back, a gentle grasp meant to reassure and guide. Ukiah .
She flapped the magnificent wings to communicate that she was okay
and felt him lift away.
She flapped again, more forcefully this
time, and reveled in the increased speed, the thrill of flight.
Mentally she explored every inch of the thunderbird, nearly dropped
from the sky at discovering the spark of life in her womb.
Once again Ukiah's talons on her back
steadied her focus. With a fleeting thought she became aware of her
human form in the building below. Her wrists freed, her back curled
against Ukiah's chest, their breathing synchronized and deep as
their spirits flew free.
Emotion surged through her. Raw and fierce.
Rumbling out in front of her as thunder. A shout of triumph. Of
joy. Of love. Of two souls reunited.

About the
Author
I've been writing since childhood and have never
outgrown being a daydreamer. When I'm not hunched over my computer,
lost in the muse and conjuring up new heroes and heroines, I can
usually be found reading, riding horses, or walking dogs.
My stories have won numerous awards and been national
best sellers. I live in California with my husband and a menagerie
of pets.
