"Your knife," he ordered once she was able to concentrate again. "Put it down."
She stared. Defiance glistened in eyes that had learned too much about what it meant to be trapped. "Go away, pale skin."
"Believe me, there's nothing I'd rather do." When she said nothing, he lifted his rifle, once again aiming it at her. "Drop your knife, or I'll kill you."
"Kill me, pale skin."
He could handle hate. He expected, even welcomed that because it mirrored what he told himself he felt for her. What he couldn't handle was believing she'd given up. Wondering if talking to the dead brave made as much sense as trying to reach her, he lowered his rifle. "Listen to me," he whispered. "Your baby is going to be born. You don't want it to die before it has a chance."

Vella Munn can't remember when she didn't feel the need to write. Her earliest creation was a comic book with the Lone Ranger's horse Silver as the protagonist. She spent more time than she wants to admit staring out the window of the one room schoolhouse she attended while fantasizing about having grand adventures in the surrounding mountains. Somehow she made it to high school and college where she took a number of journalism classes and was a reporter for the school newspaper. When her sons were in grade school, she wrote for the weekly newspaper. Those experiences taught her that she'd much rather write fiction than sticking to the facts.
In the mumble-mumble years she's been writing for a living, she figures she has penned at least sixty titles—everything from romance to suspense to paranormal to historicals to yes, erotica. (that under a pen name)
She was writing category romance for Harlequin/Silhouette when her agent challenged her to try historical romance. She tried to remind her agent of how much research that would take. Her agent countered that she lived in a National Historical Landmark and to get to work. Between all but moving into the local museum and buying every book she could find about Native Americans, she fell in love with America's first people and committed herself to do her best to bring them to life.
For the record, Vella isn't the first writer in the family. Her grandfather Homer Eon Flint wrote for the pulp magazines before he was murdered at age thirty-six. Grandpa is always by her side when she's at the computer.
