Crosswind (Land, Sea, Ski: Book 1)

Life on Earth is much improved since the pagan gods’ return. As conflict eases around the world, attention — and money — has turned to more humanitarian goals: improving the lives of the First Nations peoples and others who were repressed for thousands of years.

But the former ruling class – the military, religious, and corporate leaders who profited under the old system — are about to stage a last-ditch effort to bring their good times back.

The gods refuse to start a new war against those men, because that would make them no better than Their opponents. Instead, They have drafted three humans to help Them. Together, Tess, Sue and Darrell must find a way past their own flaws to ensure the gods’ peace will not be destroyed.

Character Interviews: Crosswind: Land, Sea, Sky Book 1

By Lynne Cantwell

Antonia Greco: Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to “Talk About a New America” on the New World News Network. I’m your host, Antonia Greco. And with me here in our Washington studios today are three of the most important players in the recent drama on the National Mall: Sue Killeen, who is a project manager for the nonprofit group Earth in Balance; Navy Lieutenant Darrell Warren; and our own Tess Showalter, TAaNA’s investigative reporter. Ladies and gentleman, thanks for being on the show today.

Sue: Sure, Antonia. Happy to be here.

Darrell: (nods)

Tess (with a grin): I had to be here anyway, so….

Antonia (smiling): Good point, Tess. Let’s start with you. How did the three of you get together?

Tess: We’re housemates, actually. Sue and I have known each other since college at Georgetown. When we advertised for another roommate earlier this summer, Darrell applied, and it’s all worked out great. Sue and I have rooms upstairs and Darrell has sort of an apartment in the basement.

Antonia: Lieutenant Warren, how did you find these women?

Darrell: Craigslist. (Antonia waits for him to elaborate, but he lapses into silence.)

Tess: Darrell’s doing his impression of the strong, silent type. A Potawatomi superhero has to keep up appearances, after all. (Darrell scowls at her.)

Antonia: A what? Never mind. Let’s turn to Sue. You were managing a project on the Mall when the trouble broke out, weren’t you?

Sue: Right. We sponsor Earth Power Week every year on the Mall. It’s a big display of alternative energy sources and improvements in the field of clean energy. I’ve been the project manager for the show for three years now, and this year we had some really cool exhibits. The thing I was proudest of was the wind power display. We had a wind turbine manufacturer set up some wind turbines on the Mall. They were only half-height models, but they were pretty impressive. Anyway, the march happened during the final weekend of our show.

Antonia: Did that concern you at all?

Sue: Well, yeah, of course it did. An extra hundred thousand people coming down to the Mall? I was worried they’d tear up the exhibits.

Antonia: Tess, tell us about the march. You were there.

Tess: All of us were there, Antonia. But okay. The march was sponsored by the Believers in the One True God – the people who think Jesus didn’t really return to Earth ten years ago. They claimed they were going to march all the way to the Capitol. But apparently their plan all along was to cause trouble at the National Museum of the American Indian.

Sue: Which is right next to where our show was.

Antonia: Why would they want to cause trouble there?

Tess: Because in their view, Native Americans faked Jesus’ return to mask the takeover of the world by their own gods. Well, by all the old pagan gods.

Antonia: And why was the Navy involved, Lieutenant?

Darrell: Your guess is as good as mine, Ms. Greco.

Tess (quietly): Probably because the gods wanted it that way.

About the author

___________________________________________________________________

Lynne Cantwell has been writing fiction since the second grade, when the kid who sat in front of her showed

her a book he had written, and she thought, “I could do that.” The result was Susie and the Talking Doll, a picture book, illustrated by the author, about a girl who owned a doll that not only could talk, but could carry on conversations. The book had dialogue but no paragraph breaks. Today, after a twenty-year career in broadcast journalism and a master’s degree in fiction writing from Johns Hopkins University (or perhaps despite the master’s degree), Lynne is still writing fantasy. In addition, she is a contributing author at Indies Unlimited.
