Dances with WolvesDances with Wolves by Michael Blake
Buy new: $24.95 / Used from: $16.99
This book and the movie, more than any other work, inspired me to write my own novel. Not just because they are similar in themes, but because the book's author struggled to be recognized in the world of literature. Blake and Costner have served as a great inspiration for me and I applaud their tenacity.

This novel, its ending in particular, affected me deeply and taught me valuable lessons on how to design unforgettable literature. A masterpiece.

This is the historical novel that was inspired by these three incredible stories. As a hybrid, it stands alone as a literary achievement in its own right. A haunting tale of loss, longing, and rebirth.
