Author: Danalee Buhler

See Amazon Shorts story, "Finding a Navajo At The Bottom of the
Baptismal Tank"

Pre-print quotation from Tony Hillerman

"Running From Coyote is a remarkable book, a brilliant example of how a
writer can use memories of her own childhood to introduce the world to
another culture. Not only does Ms. Buhler provide a clear view of the
Navajo people, my own favorite Native American culture, she also tells
a wonderful story of a white girl growing up between the Sacred
Mountains. If I were still teaching my University of New Mexico
classes, I would have it on my required reading list."

The book is available from iUniverse, Amazon, Powells, Barnes and
Nobel, and other internet book stores.
