Praise for Secrets of the Medicine Pouch
"...action we associate with thriller writers like Michael Crichton...a flavor of storytelling, narration and a touch of the archaic that one might find in a native story. Hunton’s work is animated and compelling."

Phillip Baruth,
award-winning commentator, University of Vermont professor, author of The Dream of the White Village
“I was swept up...deeply immersed in the tension and unfolding mystery.”
