The Winds of Change novel series examines a few issues: • When people came to the Americas, • Who came to the Americas, and • From where did they come? The Winds of Change novel series views the peopling of the Americas primarily from research over the last 15 years. The series takes the "what if" perspective. What might it have been like if the Americas abounded in human life long before 12,000 years ago? The first book in the series, Ki'ti's Story, 75,000 BC (2012), is the foundation for the novel series, and it takes place in what is today southern China. The second book in the series, Manak-na's Story, 75,000 BC (2013), involves an adventure from China/Mongolia to Mexico and return. The third book in the series, Zamimolo's Story, 50,000 BC (2014), involves a partial migration from China/Mongolia to Central America, where they (1) experience an abduction, (2) meet migrants from Australia's aboriginal people and Pacific Islanders along with some others from Africa, and (3) encounter a number of strange animals. The fourth book, Tuksook's Story, 35,000 BC (2014), involves a partial migration of the People from China/Mongolia to Alaska's Cook Inlet region, as they flee from a drought. Read to see (1) whether they fare well in their new home in Alaska, (2) what Alaska's Cook Inlet was like in 35,000 BC, and (3) whether the People can convince the starving ones who remain behind to leave their drought stricken land to join them in the new land. The Winds of Change is an exhalation from the nostrils of Wisdom, causing change. It affects individuals, groups, localities, regions, or the entire world. When the Winds of Change affect the world, all life responds. The first four books exist in a world of peace following the eruption of a super volcano. With the last great Ice Age the lives of the People change from a world of peace required for survival--where in-fighting was a luxury they could not afford--to a world of war, well established by 11,700 years ago, that continues to this day.
