Yet, as the editors of this volume amply demonstrate, a significant Indian population remained behind after those massive relocations. The first anthology to focus on the literary work of Native Americans who trace their ancestry to “people who stayed” in southeastern states after 1830, this volume represents every state and every genre, including short stories, excerpts from novels, poetry, essays, plays, and even Web postings.

Twelve 12
Twelve will die; twelve must die, because someone has to pay for what they did to Peter Jones. Twelve years ago, a dozen of citizens including two law officers beat him to death for a crime he didn’t commit. Because Peter wouldn’t take her serious as a young woman, Ashley Montes lied to the police, she told them that he raped her. This lie would soon come back to haunt her and the families of the dozen that murdered him for the rest of their lives. Now in the future three very different detectives will find out the hard way that not all that they know is what it is. They would have to solve the heinous of crimes and murders ever in their careers, but one will die because she knows the truth and is too close to the murderous victim. Will the remaining two solve a long overdue crime before more is killed or will they crack and leave a serial killer on the loose?
