The Spirit of the Estuary (ePub)

Descry was born in Colorado and grew up exploring wild places in search of pre-historic peoples and the wonders of nature. In his twenties, he was captured by the magnitude and magic of the Colorado Plateau and melded his life into that region.

Descry's work emerged out of one of the most exciting and mysterious regions on the Planet, the American Desert Southwest. His works are filled with vivid descriptions of real places and events. His writings explore possibilities that are so plausible that the reader has a difficult time separating truth from fiction.

Descry and his family live, depending on the season and their whims, in Sedona or Prescott, Arizona, and Cortez, Colorado. They also spend time near the Sea of Cortez and are avid supporters of the Center for the Studies of the Oceans and Deserts. He is actively involved in education, archaeology, environmental issues, and business. In his writings, he shares his insights and love of the land and its peoples in a way that charges one with awe.

The Spirit of the Estuary, is Descry's third in the Spirit Series. It is a history-mystery told through the life of a murdered Seri Indian woman. It is set in the northern Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) region of Mexico.

The Spirits in the Ruins, is a history-mystery that challenges the reader's detective abilities as Arnie Cain attempts to solve the century old murder of a Native American leader. Descry provides insights into the illegal trade in Anasazi grave goods, and a previously untold history of the Ute Mountain Ute Indian people.

The Spirit of the Sycamore, is a tantalizing and complex history-mystery that explores discord and harmony in Sedona, Arizona, which is one of the Planet's important spiritual energy centers, and one of the Earth's most beautiful places.
