Carol Colson is a native Idahoan who longs for the opportunity to spend time in nature. Carol began her writing journey after raising her son, two daughters, and two granddaughters. After learning the craft of writing children’s short stories, “Bloodline: The Legend of WindWalker” became her challenge. Carol quoted, “I have been told everyone has a story to tell, WindWalker was mine. For me, writing is like breathing; essential, refreshing, and sometimes necessary for my sanity… and always fun.”
“Bloodline: The Legend of WindWalker” is a novel that depicts the adventures of a young girl upon uncovering the mystery behind her father’s bloodline. Nhaya is plagued by recurring dreams of impending decisions, and they push her to decide the direction of her life—but which direction?
Her book, “Bloodline: The Legend of WindWalker,” was displayed at the 2023 Bologna Book Fair. The Bologna Children’s Book Fair is an industry-leading event that has succeeded in bringing together a unique and diverse global audience thanks to 60-year experience.
A Hollywood movie script was also written for “Bloodline: The Legend of WindWalker” which is a story that can be turned into a successful and marketable movie. “Bloodline: The Legend of the WindWalker” is an intriguing and faithful movie that teaches that hope and love are enough to save the ones we love the most. The novel is written for a family and has no violence, nudity, or bad language. If converted, it will be a fantastic film that focuses on many lifesaving themes that people ignore.
Her book was also reviewed by Michelle Jacobs of the US Review of Books, to wit, “The strong theme of reconciliation will resonate with readers as characters contend with feeling disconnected from their culture, their purpose, and their families. In this fertile place of searching and seeking, the story unfolds in layers of resounding truths and wisdom. As Nhaya learns to trust herself, the world opens up to show itself to her in healing ways. In the process, Colson connects readers to Native American culture, keeping traditions alive for a new generation to celebrate and embrace alongside Nhaya.”
