Maggie Blackbird
Genre:
Inspirational Contemporary Romance
In
the midst of a battle for leadership at their Ojibway community, two
enemies of opposing families fall in love...
After suffering a
humiliating divorce, infuriated Catholic Jude Matawapit bolts to his
family’s Ojibway community to begin a new job—but finds himself
thrown into a battle for chief as his brother-in-law’s campaign
manager. The radical Kabatay clan, with their extreme ideas about
traditional Ojibway life, will stop at nothing to claim the
leadership position and rid the reserve of Western culture and its
religion once and for all, which threatens not only the
non-traditional people of the community, but Jude’s chance at a
brand-new life he’s creating for his children.
Recovering addict Raven
Kabatay will do anything to win the respect and trust of her older
siblings and mother after falling deep into drug addiction that
brought shame and anger to her family. Not only does she have the
opportunity to redeem herself by becoming her brother’s campaign
manager for chief—if he wins, she’ll have the reserve’s backing
to purchase the gold-mine diner where she works, finally making
something of herself. But falling in love with the family’s sworn
enemy—the deacon’s eldest son, Jude—will not just betray the
Kabatay clan. It could destroy everything Raven believes in and has
worked so hard for.

Matawapit Family Series Book 2
Genre:
Contemporary Inspirational Romance
A
single woman battles to keep her foster child from his newly-paroled
father—a dangerous man she used to love.
Bridget
Matawapit is an Indigenous activist, daughter of a Catholic deacon,
and foster mother to Kyle, the son of an Ojibway father—the
ex-fiancé she kicked to the curb after he chose alcohol over her
love. With Adam out on parole and back in Thunder Bay, she is
determined to stop him from obtaining custody of Kyle.
Adam
Guimond is a recovering alcoholic and ex-gangbanger newly-paroled.
Through counselling, reconnecting with his Ojibway culture and
twelve-step meetings while in prison, Adam now understands he’s
worthy of the love that frightened him enough to pick up the bottle
he’d previously corked. He can't escape the damage he caused so
many others, but he longs to rise like a true warrior in the pursuit
of forgiveness and a second chance. There's nothing he isn't willing
to do to win back his son--and Bridget.
When an old cell
mate’s daughter dies under mysterious circumstances in foster care,
Adam begs Bridget to help him uncover the truth. Bound to the plight
of the Indigenous children in care, Bridget agrees. But putting
herself in contact with Adam threatens to resurrect her long-buried
feelings for him, and even worse, she risks losing care of Kyle, by
falling for a man who might destroy her faith in love completely this
time.

Genre:
Contemporary M/M Inspirational Romance
It’s
been ten years since Emery Matawapit sinned, having succumbed to
temptation for the one thing in his life that felt right, another
man. In six months he’ll make a life-changing decision that will
bar him from sexual relationships for the rest of his life.
Darryl
Keejik has a decade-long chip on his shoulder, and he holds Emery’s
father, the church deacon, responsible for what he’s suffered: the
loss of his family and a chance at true love with Emery. No longer a
powerless kid, Darryl has influence within the community—maybe more
than the deacon. Darryl intends on using his power to destroy Deacon
Matawapit and his church.
Hoping
to save the church, Emery races home. But stopping Darryl is harder
than expected when their sizzling chemistry threatens to consume
Emery. Now he is faced with the toughest decision of his life: please
his devout parents and fulfill his call to the priesthood, or remain
true to his heart and marry the man created for him.
This
is very erotic book about a spiritual journey.

An
Ojibway from Northwestern Ontario, Maggie resides in the country with
her husband and their fur babies, two beautiful Alaskan Malamutes.
When she’s not writing, she can be found pulling weeds in the
flower beds, mowing the huge lawn, walking the Mals deep in the bush,
teeing up a ball at the golf course, fishing in the boat for walleye,
or sitting on the deck at her sister’s house, making more wonderful
memories with the people she loves most.
GUEST POST
Writer? It’s my imagination telling stories!
I
get asked this question a lot: When did you consider yourself a
writer? Honestly, I never really thought of myself as a writer, but
other people do, such as my family. Before publication, my dad would
say, “My daughter, the writer.”
I
still can’t quite say “I’m a writer” to this day, because
writing is something I always did, before I even knew how to read and
write. In the Ojibway world, we had and still have storytellers. Am
I a storyteller? When I think hard on it, the answer is no.
I’m
simply a person who loves using my imagination. And stories happen
in my head before I go to sleep. Such as one constant daydream I
conjured up of a gay professional golfer (I’m a golf fanatic) that
a handsome movie star is obsessed with. They wind up meeting,
through the movie star’s agent, who gets in contact with the pro
golfer’s agent. During the pro-am, movie star makes his move and
invites pro golfer up to the hotel room for “dinner.” The rest
his history. Haha.
Will
this story see the light of day in the publishing world? Nope. It’s
just a fun little story I enjoy running through my head before I
drift off to sleep. I love making new mini-stories for this couple.
Nothing more.
Other
stories I conjure up in my head do make it on to my computer’s
hard-drive, such as Blessed, Redeemed, and now
Sanctified, books one, two, and three in the Matawapit
Family Series. Before publication, I wrote numerous and numerous
short stories, long stories, novels, and series. I wrote them simply
because I had to, and to destress after a too long business
trip, or while sitting in my hotel room after another one of many
meetings.
Writing
is a part of me, so much a part of me, if I said, “I’m a writer,”
I’d have to own up to it when I’d hang my head over the top bunk
of my bed, jabbering with my sister as a child while we made up
stories. More than stories. We roll-played before roll playing was
even a word LOL.
So if people want to call me a writer, that’s cool. I got no
problem with it at all. But for me. Writing is simply what I do and
who I am—something I’ll keep doing until I leave planet earth.
