This is the story of a mystical, magical drone pilot. It is the year following the Standing Rock Movement and many water protectors have found themselves in many kinds of struggles. Follow Shiye's journey as he processes, transitions and tries to help himself and others. Our drone pilot shares his highs and lows, his chaotic and peaceful adventures. Travel through the darkness and the lightness and find out why both are important. Shiye takes us down his path in this beautiful tale of spirituality, consciousness and Indigenous wisdom.

The stories are laced with all the experiences and knowledge I have acquired in my some 70 years. No one character in my stories is based on any friend or acquaintance. No other characters were from my life. The only connection with my life is that I tried to blend in some of my world travels in the background of a few stories and use my experience as an architect and a world traveler. I have always loved humor, sometimes satire, other times, slap-stick, even dark humor. Some readers may be puzzled at the endings but I think the reader should use his imagination. I don't believe in 'spelling' it out for the reader. My main attempt in writing is to give the reader not only enjoyment but at times, a good laugh. My more serious stories are meant to give thought to the relationship of people in all walks of life. If there is a main idea in my writing, it is to paint a picture with words.
