Jerriann Law


Biography

Jerriann Wayahowl Law co-authors on many projects with her writing partner JD Couch: as writing Duo, Windhawk and Snowhawk, penning chants voicing concerns on the world's ecological situation, social issues, and many themes we as Native Americans can pray to Creator for a better world resolution. Our mission is to take action; it is our desire to enlighten others and spur them into action, too, before it gets to a point of no return. We also use original songs and videos to further express in an audio/visual way these same concerns and themes; one person at a time can help spread the word to others they know: this world is our life support system; without it, we don't exist in an alive fashion. Living is a great thing, isn't it?
Being happy, feeling secure, having peace of mind to rest at night, knowing life will continue pleasantly for future generations; that's our hope for tomorrow. It is something we all have to work at, just like with any relationship you care about, but it's the one relationship many people take for granted, expecting others to handle it, while you have the benefits of enjoying it.
If you are eighteen or older, accept responsibility as an adult; it is you and your environment...make it the best you can; if we all do this, life will improve in every way for everyone. This world would then be a truly amazing place for us to call home.

  • Hiroko's Tale on July 22, 2012
    star star star star star
    A romantic at heart and a lover of folktales the world over, this short story fills every need I have and i loved the classic 'princess seeks worthy lover for life partner' theme; beautiful Hiroko has turned down beaus offering riches; she seeks someone who truly loves her, something she senses none so far had for her. A fisherman, Akio loves her from afar and having little to offer, sets down and carves a Daruma doll; but he loses his confidence, thinking she would not want him he leaves the gift and goes away; when Hiroko finds it, she is overjoyed and part of her joy enters the doll and he comes alive, receiving an eye; later a storm brings destruction and Hiroko sets out to find his maker.Will he find Akio in time to save the lovely Haroko? Only if the Daruma can succeed, hindered by his small size and one eye it is nearly impossible with the storm's winds and debris in the way; but don't underestimate the power of love and fate. i loved its happy ending and the Haru-Dori birds that sing of this great love made this a story to be treasured.
  • The Curse of the Antiquus on Aug. 13, 2012
    star star star
    The story caught my eye because of its theme and the title, and also because it was offered free; when reading it, it didn't satisfy my sense of having a full story on hand. It needs to be thought over much deeper and elaborated on each of the journal entries, as well as a stronger ending needs to be applied. I would also suggest the author needs to apply spell-check and just do an over all editing to improve the story. Also need to do more research for the setting and the history could be greatly improved. It could be so much more. I sensed the author's enthusiasm, and a strong desire to be an author, but this had a rushed feel, and that takes away from the enjoyment of the read.
  • Egypt's Light on Aug. 15, 2012
    star star star star star
    I very much enjoyed this epic poem, which gave an accurate, historical retelling of the rise and fall of Egypt, its gods and goddesses, myths, and triumphs as well as losses;it kept me rapt to the end, loved it.
  • Warped Mirrors on Sep. 10, 2012
    star star star star star
    I found this story a delightful read; very funny as well as unusual theme; have never read anything quite like it before. The characterizations are well rounded, visual persons and the dialogue quite believable; nothing seemed forced between speakers. It was a visual fun romp of a young man's visit to a friend's huge house over the weekend; set in beautiful Scotland, the homeland of the author, so he has the ability to draw off memory, and nothing enhances the visibility of a setting like describing something the author knows for himself. It is a weird story, based on traditional themes of good verses evil, of youth verses maturity, of first love and its effects on the person in love; of time and space dysfunction;of the battle between families; of how fathers are like sons and sons like fathers, even if they might not wish to be; how we can or we can't change the way things are...some things are set in stone and other things are malleable; just knowing the difference and such a thing as what this mysterious Mayan game board could do might just be a reality somewhere...but for sure it was a quite devastating one for Julian. Loved the story; will enjoy reading it many times, like i do all my favorite authors.
  • Desolate - Short Stories & Poems on Sep. 22, 2012
    star star star star star
    Unusual stories and poems, each as different as you could hope to find, with full detailed characterization, setting and humor, as well as the inevitable twist ending. An excellent read for most any season, and a collection you will return to many times, for these stories will linger in your mind; and pull you irresistibly back, over and over; for reading when the moon sets at a jaunty angle and you have the urge for something just a tad on the unusual side this is the book to read.
  • Prickly Scots Pt I on Sep. 23, 2012
    star star star star star
    If you ever have wondered what Scotland does on New Year's eve, this is going to surprise the heck out of you, because this story focuses on a New Year's eve and an event most unusual that has been reoccuring somewhere in the world every few years, spotlighting an area in blue...but until Scotland is highlighted, those other times just didn't quite cut it. From its unusual beginning, to a wide array of not quite perfect people and their dysfunctional existences, this story covers several genres...mystery, science fiction, fantasy, humor at its most quirky, settings that are literally out of this world, and how does the author manage to get the reader thinking it's going to be one way only to jerk the rug right out from under you? never take anything for granted, but yes, it all ties together and nothing is here that is not crucial to the events. Plus when the people speak you hear them in their own Gaelic brogue, which adds to the originality of this wonderful tale.
  • Prickly Scots Pts I & II on Sep. 23, 2012
    star star star star star
    This is the complete epic tale of Archie and his friends, covering both Part 1 and Part 2. If you ever have wondered what Scotland does on New Year's eve, this is going to surprise the heck out of you, because this story focuses on a New Year's eve and an event most unusual that has been reoccuring somewhere in the world every few years, spotlighting an area in blue...but until Scotland is highlighted, those other times just didn't quite cut it. From its unusual beginning, to a wide array of not quite perfect people and their dysfunctional existences, this story covers several genres...mystery, science fiction, fantasy, humor at its most quirky, settings that are literally out of this world, and how does the author manage to get the reader thinking it's going to be one way only to jerk the rug right out from under you? never take anything for granted, but yes, it all ties together and nothing is here that is not crucial to the events. Plus when the people speak you hear them in their own Gaelic brogue, which adds to the originality of this wonderful tale. In Part 2, the setting takes certain characters into the past, and where you knew the people to be a certain way, suddenly you see them in a totally new light, as the story ties together the strings left hanging and you finally understand whatever had been puzzling you. Great imagination at work, and whatever could have been taken dead serious is poked fun at and brings gale after gale of chuckles, guffaws and outright 'come on, really?' outbursts. You'll see this in your mind and be enchanted; and characters you'll love to hate, in the end you will admire and know they had to be there. It's a brilliant imagery, i for one, love it.
  • Little Nut Jobs on Sep. 23, 2012
    star star star star star
    Having read more serious works of this author, I found myself surprised at this collection. But then again, maybe not, because I've learned never to try and anticipate what might come up in his writing, but the one thing that is consistent, is a warped sense of humor. There is something like 30 of these swine-flung pearls in this particular grouping; indeed it speaks of every sense being heightened in a repugnant or enlightened way. I found them funny, sometimes genius, reads. Brilliant in their insanity, even. The mind these tales creep out from is not connected quite as other minds are arranged, obviously; in fact you might say such a mind that can come up with these thoughts must be deranged. Instead, it is laughing, as the author anticipates your thoughts, but never at any time does he lose sight of his objective; thereby you see he is perhaps the sanest of men; observing this world (and a few others) and accepts all without judging. He sees humor everywhere and wants to share, and if you accept this unusual gift he has for the insane, then you're in for some thrills - although I shouldn't think it would be for everyone. Here's a couple to show what you're in store for: 
'Temporal Anomaly in the Space Time Continuum', this is what I meant by 'so genius; for this is a work you can read in either direction, end to start. And 'The Pump King', a totally off the wall attack of a zombie kind unlike any dreamt up before as a woman encounters her nemesis one final time in a way I found completely hilarious - as good horror, for me, should be. I can honestly say that I have never read anything quite like these short stories and vignettes, and that, I believe shows a truly inventive mind - albeit slightly mad.

    i enjoyed that you obviously did a lot of research to get the story you have, it has a lot of technical plot line threaded throughout it. i enjoyed the part where you explained about the alphabet and the cute owl pictures were quite fun. the cover says erotic story but its not a regular erotica between a man and woman, there is a distanced emotional tension that lacked a sense of real love. At least that is what it was for me as a reader,but maybe in that world that's the best they can do. it was hard to buy into who these people were supposed to have been over all those centuries...and especially that they were living and acting in the manner this story portrayed. Still I rate this on a higher scale, because it was crafted as well as the author could and i'm thinking it wasn't an easy work to write; thanks for the free read.
  • A Heartbeat, A Death Note on Dec. 14, 2012
    star star star star
    a short collection of poems yearning for one who the lover hopes is the true love, viewed idealistically and with a hesitation for fear of rejection or change that might spoil what is perceived as a relationship of some standing,so with a reserve there is a seeming withdrawal when the ideal actually comes over and is not responded to but left standing outside in the snow...pained feelings appear in the evident slashes on arms of the object of desire, and with empathy the lover wishes to take that pain upon himself, but there is little hope for this pair of lovers who see death as the ultimate means to seal their love for eternity.

    racy, full of action, characters sometimes blend into each other as it switches back and forth between them, and the pace is so fast it was hard to keep up with who was doing what...not really my cup of tea.
  • Ramblings of a tired mind: Poems on Jan. 19, 2013
    star star star star
    poems were visual, word choices picturesque... verses such as 5 that went "Surrender to the Fire of Love's saving Grace and fill your heart with Desire and Love's immortal Face." it was full of such beauty...although short in length it made up for in internal body.
