Yay, Coyote!

Bergey has created a cast of characters that live and breathe, and given new life to Coyote, one of the most important spirit animals in Indian cultures. This Coyote is so compelling and original the reader can't help but be drawn to his life and doings. A natural storyteller, Bergey has produced two marvelous stories that make me cry, "More! More!"

Coyote's continuing adventures

This is a sequel to New Coyote. Make sure to start with that one, or you won't be able to follow what is happening. Coyote is no longer a pup trying to find out who or what he really is. He is now a full grown animal trying to find out who or what he really is. Unfortunately quite a few other characters already know that, and they all have uses for him. None of those uses involve Coyote hanging out on the farm and enjoying life. Coyote Season is much darker than New Coyote. The happy little puppy has grown up. Although he is still the Trickster the games are being played for keeps. And in the spirit world "keeps" means more than life or death. Not everything works out for the best, and some characters make great sacrifices. The stage is much larger. Shamanistic characters from Asia and Europe are brought in, and much of the action takes place far from Washington state.

Coyote Season

A continuation of Coyote's (yes the amerind trickster archtype's) adventures as he tries to remake himself in our changing world. Written with wry humor and great insight of how canines think, this is a fun and quick read (quick, because you'll probably NOT be able to set it down until you're done with it.)

A Fun and Exciting Read!

Coyote Season is the brilliant sequel to New Coyote. I loved the first book so much I had doubts about the author being able to continue the story and make it as fun and exciting as the original. I'm happy to say that the second book is even better than the first! More intrigue, fun, and adventure with that reawakening trickster spirit Coyote. If you like seeing traditional magic woven in with modern settings, these books are just perfect for you!

very creative urban fantasy

Coyote the trickster is in his animal form in this incarnation learning about the human magic of science so when he passes over he will have a new tool to use. He doesn't remember how to do magic or much before this birth but he has humans to trust like Mooney, John, and Mouse and he has cubs with Lazytail in a mating. He has five spirit children living with him at all times and they have his memories and magic but don't tell him how to use the magic or what he did in previous lives. Coyote learns the Iron Song which has the affect of making metal rust and he used it on a farmer's tractor totally destroying the metal but leaving the other parts in tact. The CIA learns of this and arrives to figure out who has such a weapon. They take over the farmer's home leaving Coyote and his crew sniffing around for information. Unknown to Coyote, he is heard talking to Mouse and agent Rick Molina believes that coyote can help and intends to use him. Coyote embarks on a series of dangerous adventures to get around those who would use his magic. These include government agents a magic practitioner who uses spells on the dark side to a demon. If he can remain free he has important information to tell the American government about Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. This is a very creative urban fantasy that centers on a unique protagonist, a trickster Totem spirit who did some very bad things in his past lives and has an evil reputation because of it. In this life, he tries so hard to be good yet trouble seems to follow him like a plague but he always acts with honor and he knows how to love and not give in to mischief. The various spirit realms he visits in his attempts to escape enemies are well developed so that readers obtain a full Native American mythos in a modern day setting. Harriet Klausner
