In the vast untamed desert of northern Arizona, Aideen Connor signs on as lead archaeologist at Moenkopi Ridge hoping to find peace after witnessing her husband’s violent death. Instead, she stumbles into a mystery as ancient and dangerous as the land itself. Shortly after she arrives, Aideen’s team uncovers a “bone hash,” human bones showing evidence of prehistoric cannibalism. Her job takes on a darker turn when a brutal murder shocks the residents of the nearby Hopi Reservation. Unsettling connections begin to emerge between her excavation and the crime.
Trust from the local community fractures, threats escalate, and Aideen’s world begins to unravel. First her boss blames her when the entire bone hash is stolen. Then local Native Americans accuse her of disrespecting their ancestors. Violent threats against her ensue: a sheep is killed, viciously eviscerated and left under her residential trailer. A photo of her dead husband is stolen from her bedroom and stuck in its blood. All threats point to a grim reality: someone wants her gone.
As her desperation grows, Aideen turns to Frank Nakai, the BLM Special Agent assigned to the case. But Frank’s presence is as complicating as it is compelling, leaving Aideen torn between grief and her unexpected attraction. When Frank is ordered to return to his office in Santa Fe, Aideen must navigate a maze of buried truths with only her dog, Dakota for companionship. Every clue leads her closer to danger and the secrets buried at Moenkopi Ridge. Secrets that could cost her more than her career—they could cost her life.
Award-winning event producer and passionate explorer, Skye Griffith debuts her talent for storytelling with Bone Hash, a gripping mystery inspired by her explorations of archaeological sites and rugged backcountry across the American Southwest.
Skye’s fascination with prehistoric cultures and their ability to thrive in unforgiving landscapes sparked the heart of her story. Through years of research and first-hand adventures, she crafts an authentic and vivid narrative of secrets buried in desert sands.
Before turning to fiction, Skye orchestrated large-scale events—including Denver’s first world championship, the Stanley Cup celebration, and the Pope’s historic visit to Denver during World Youth Day. Her articles have appeared in the National Endowment for the Arts newsletter and other industry publications. She holds degrees from the Universities of Cincinnati and Denver and is a member of the Denver Woman’s Press Club, Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters in Crime. She lives in Denver with her husband and their 115 lb Malamute.

Earth’s global ocean covers seventy percent of its surface. Its average depth is two point three miles. There are six-mile-deep trenches where the mantle consumes old ocean floor, and mid-ocean ridges where it pushes out new. Some experts consider the ocean more hostile than space. Admiral Martin (retired) is fond of saying; “The sea will get you if it can.”
Now, there is a place in the Arctic Ocean, about three hundred miles from the North Pole, roughly three miles below the polar ice cap, where hydrothermal water percolates through newly formed crust. Where mineral precipitates have built a kingdom of towers, spires, and bridges. Where giant blood-red tube worms and foot long shrimp thrive. And where an ancient dragon returns to life after a million-year sleep.
Meanwhile, in more southern waters, industrialist and marine explorer William “Bill” Martin has embarked on a three-month expedition to the mid-ocean ridge beneath the Arctic ice cap. Critical to the success of this mission is his submarine Expedition. Expedition is an extraordinary nuclear powered research vessel. It can make five thousand feet depth to keel. It has transparent titanium-aluminum windows, an active camouflage system, and seven sonar systems. It carries drilling equipment, a diving bell, an exploratory submersible that can walk over coalescing lava flows, and three mini subs. The admiral is prepared for anything the sea can throw at him. Or so he thinks.
After discovering a mineral treasure trove of precious metals and rare earth elements, escaping from a deep-sea dragon by the skin of its teeth, and while his science team is still examining core samples, a call comes in from the Navy. “Bill, we need your help.” Cetaceans are beaching themselves in large numbers on New Jersey's shores, and one of our submarines is missing.
Will Expedition and his crew figure out why the whales are grounding themselves and why the Navy’s submarine is missing?

"A heartwarming and absorbing account of matching a human and a canine."- Kirkus Indies
A memoir of second chances, healing, and how rescuing a dog rescued me
Having never had a dog of his own before, Don was not prepared for what it meant to adopt one of the most behaviorally difficult rescues in the shelter. But something about Barbie, a mutt that everyone had given up on and so fearful and unresponsive that she was within days of being put down, convinced Don to open his home and his heart for the first time to a canine companion, changing both of their lives forever.
Interspersed with Don’s most poignant memories of volunteering at his local animal shelter, The Mutt for Me follows the many misadventures of Don and Barbie on their mutual journey of growth and healing. You’ll see Barbie transform from the terrified, despondent recluse to the lively and almost always well-behaved dog she is today.
As the first-time dog dad of a pup in need of significant behavioral development, Don shows that with enough love, patience, and dedication, anyone can provide a home to a rescue animal. The Mutt for Me is a heartwarming story about how our pets have the capacity to transform and heal us as much as we can do the same for them.

Armed with ambition and a thirst for achievement, he quickly discovers that life beyond academia is far more complicated than he imagined. Opportunities come knocking, but so do challenges—unexpected sacrifices, ethical dilemmas, and the constant struggle between staying true to himself and meeting the expectations of society. As Daniel grapples with these tensions, he must learn that the road to success is paved with difficult choices, self-discovery, and the resilience to withstand setbacks.

Old enemies reappear, unresolved mistakes haunt him, and family conflicts threaten to tear apart the foundation he has built. Every step forward feels like a step closer to disaster as the weight of his past choices grows unbearable.
Now, Daniel must navigate high-stakes business deals, intense personal entanglements, and an ever-growing sense of isolation. As trust becomes a rare commodity and every move could mean the difference between survival and collapse, he is forced to question everything he once believed about success.
