Dust Devil Brings Tears To Your Eyes And Love To Your Heart
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Allen, TX – From the award-winning author recognized as one of the country’s top three romance writers comes a rich new saga of love and intrigue. Passions run high and readers can almost feel the grit whipped up by the torrid winds of Dust Devil by Parris Afton Bonds.
In the fierce and untamed Territory of New Mexico, the most fierce and most untamed made love and history. Those lovers were Rosemary, the willful Irish lass who harbored a forbidden love and claimed the Cambria empire as hers forever…Lario, the handsome Navajo who claimed revenge on Rosemary and then claimed her for his own … Grant, who wielded the Territory’s political power and who would bind Rosemary’s fate with his…Stephanie, beautiful heiress of the Cambria empire, who loved wildly and paid for that love…and lastly, decades later, Chase the Wind, destined to rule the white man’s world and every woman’s heart.
Dust Devil moves through the Navajo’s Long Walk, when the U.S. government in an attempt at ethnic cleansing herded the Navajo into New Mexico’s Fort Sumner, to the Death March for a Navajo Code Talker captured by the Japanese on Bataan during World War II. Although the Native Americans gave their lives fighting for our country during World War II, tragically, they were not given the franchise, allowed to vote, until 1948.
The mother of five sons and the author of 37 published novels, Parris Afton Bonds is the co-founder of Southwest Writers Workshop and cofounder and first vice president of Romance Writers of America. Bonds attributes her fascination with historical romances and, in particular, Native Americans, to authors she had read as a child and young woman such as Frank Yerby, Rafael Sabatini, James Fennimore Cooper, Dale Van Every, and Edna Ferber. The plight of the Native American as described in the novel Romana by Helen Hunt Jackson, most influenced Parris Afton Bonds.
Declared by ABC’s Nightline as one of the three best-selling authors of romantic fiction, the award-winning Parris Afton Bonds has been interviewed by such luminaries as Charlie Rose and featured in major newspapers as well as published in more than a dozen languages. She donates her time to teaching creative writing to both grade school children and female inmates.
The Parris Award was established in her name by the Southwest Writers Workshop to honor a published writer of outstanding generosity who contributes time and talent to other writers. Prestigious recipients of the Parris Award include Tony Hillerman and the Pulitzer nominee Norman Zollinger.
