  About AN ARTIFACT OF DEATH A botched execution. A reverend on the run. Can she solve the mystery before she's caught in the crosshairs? Reverend Cici Gurule went to the sacred Chaco Canyon in search of a sign. She's been offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in a megachurch, but taking the position would mean abandoning her Southwestern home and the man she's grown to love as much more than a friend.

With the political climate as it is these days, writing a book like this is certainly a bold move, and I suspect readers will either love or hate the plot and storyline.
