Jane Kirkpatrick's books are wonderful.  She makes the day to day of history come alive. Right now I'm reading Love to Water My Soul and the beginning is set in the Harney County area where I live. The Native American scenes are so vivid, I start thinking these are real people.  My question is how she relates so well to the Native Americans in her stories. I know she does extensive research but it is another thing to be able to capture day to day life and conversation.  Another question is that I read she consults to Warm Springs Res. What kind of consulting does she do?

Thank you and best of luck to you, Jane.
