In 1848, gold was discovered in the mountains of California. It is a little known fact that the Cherokees of Indian Territory were excited by the news and they quickly formed a company. But, what trail would they take? It was said that the Santa Fe Trail Trail leaving from Independence, Missouri was full of cholera and death. The southern route was beset with marauding Indians. How would they get to the goldfields? The Cherokees were among the first to form a company of men and women who planned on traversing the land from the east to grab their share of the gold. Yet, there was safety in numbers and the group joined with another group of white settlers calling the combined group the Cherokee/Evans Company. However, almost immediately there was trouble between the two groups. Sasa, a young Cherokee woman, and Coyote, a Lakota/Blackfoot man, accompany the wagon train and bring with them their faithful friends, Wheezer, a Jack Russell Terrier and Yellow Eyes, a wild coyote. But, all is not well on the wagon train. There is a murderer in disguise among the travelers as well as much racial tension. The search for the murderer puts Sasa and Coyote's lives in danger. Would they make it to California? Only those with courage and endurance stood a chance.

Autorenporträt
Kitty Sutton was born Kathleen Kelley to an Osage/Irish family of professional musicians in Kansas City, Missouri, where Kitty was trained from an early age in dance, vocal, art and musical instruments. Her father was a Naval band leader. During the Great Depression, her mother helped to support her family by tap dancing in the speakeasys even though she was just a child; she was very tall for her age but made up like an adult. Kitty had music and art on all sides of her family which ultimately helped to feed her imaginative mind and desire to succeed. Kitty married a wonderful Cherokee artist from Oklahoma, in fact the very area that she writes about in her Wheezer series of novels. After raising her family, Kitty came to Branson, Missouri and performed in her own one-woman show there for twelve years. To honor her father, she performed under the name Kitty Kelley. She has three music albums and several original songs to her credit and is best known for her comical, feel good song called It Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings. Kitty has been writing for many years and in 2011 Inknbeans Press accepted her manuscript of an historical Native American murder mystery. It was the first in a series of stories featuring Wheezer, a Jack Russell Terrier and his friend, Sasa, it is called, Wheezer And The Painted Frog. Kitty lives in the southwestern corner of Missouri near Branson with her husband of 46 years and her three Jack Russell Terriers, one of which is the real and wonderful Wheezer.
