Author Makes Visit To Wolf Point Library
Author Wayne Adams of Texas was a special featured speaker in the Roosevelt County Library in Wolf Point on Thursday, Sept. 11.
Adams released his book, The Odyssey of Amanda Iron Bear, earlier this year. Members of the Wolf Point book club read the fiction book prior to Adams’ visit to Wolf Point.
The Odyssey of Amanda Iron Bear takes place on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and deals with a 17-year-old indigenous girl who is kidnapped by human traffickers.
He explained he became aware of the indigenous human trafficking crisis when he was viewing a PBS documentary during the COVID lockdown. “I was surprised to learn that thousands of indigenous women are missing in both the United States and Canada,” Adams told this newspaper earlier this year. “This is a real-world crisis that is never mentioned on the 6 o’clock news.”
The process of writing the book took five years to complete. First, he wrote the book on notebook paper and then he typed it on a library computer. He gave a thumb drive of the book to a friend, but then the thumb drive was lost.
The publication is available on the Amazon book store.
This is Adams’ 10th book. Other topics have included the discovery of an asteroid made of gold, poetry and a serial killer targeting drug dealers.
