Dakota Dreamtime

These are the words that folklorist and wanna-be dinosaur hunter Allison Swenson O'Conner hears from a mysterious Aborigine who comes to her in a dream on a dinosaur dig deep in the Australian Outback. They set in motion a series of cryptic and prophetic events that soon find Allie back on the windswept plains of her native South Dakota, and include the dinosaur find of a lifetime. Along the way, Allie is joined by a wild cast of characters that include some lively Australian houseguests, an egomaniacal paleontologist, and a psychic barber, just to name a few.

And all along the way, the mysterious Aborigine reappears in a series of mysterious and prophetic dreams that Allie has no choice but to take seriously.
