Book One: "Urban Shaman"
Book Two: "Thunderbird Falls"
Book Three: "Coyote Dreams"
Book Four: "Walking Dead"
The series is about Joanne Walker, cop and mechanic extraordinaire a no nonsense kind of gal. That is until one day from her seat on an airplane Joanne spies a woman in trouble. "Urban Shaman" introduces to a lovable kooky nest of characters. Joanne's life is anything but boring once she discovers and begins to accept and learn to use her Shaman powers, with Coyote as a guide whose life could be boring?! The series would definitely fall into the "Paranormal" genre, but I hate putting books there. Why? Because darn it so many of of them are written off as pure fluff and not worth the read. Absolutely untrue of this series. I have enjoyed the ride of everyone of the books in the series, including the last one (even though she just had to go and introducing zombies damn-it). The series mixes Native American folk-lore with Celtic folk-lore (yes that does mean Fae, but not in a nice and pretty kind of way), and Ms. Murphy does so artfully. I still have three more books to go before I am all caught up with this series, and I look forward to the ride now if I only had Joanne's car!
