    Debra Hughey, the author of People of the Townhouse, chronicles the typical Creek village prior to the decisive Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814, providing the reader with an intimate capsule of Creek life in the Hillabee Village of central Alabama. The Owl and the Horseshoe replaces what were considered savages by the white race with a caring, loving, thoughtful, industrious, intelligent, proud and brave race, trying to cope with changing times and the unavoidable prophecy of the owl.

    Spirit of the Red Stick Women is the sequel to The Owl and the Horseshoe. This story tells of the lives of the family after the Horseshoe. A great majority of Creek Warriors at the battle did not live to see the sun set on that day. What would happen to their women and children? As with The Owl and the Horseshoe, Spirit of the Red Stick Women is based on historical events, the few that are available. Many of the same characters combined with the new, create an exciting but unexpected turn of events. While the plight of the women continues to be filled with extreme hardship and grief, they will depend on the strength of the grandmothers and they will survive.

    Debra Taunton Hughey has no college degrees in archaeology, anthropology or even history, but she is considered by many as the expert of Creek Indian culture and history in the Tallapoosa River Valley of East-Central, Alabama. Discovering new things about the original inhabitants of Tallassee, Alabama, has been her life-long passion. She has read hundreds of books on the subject, made acquaintances of numerous archaeologists from local universities as well as native peoples from Alabama, Oklahoma and the southeast and has had many personal experiences from roaming up and down the Tallapoosa River her entire life. These life experiences, along with her own Native American ancestry and heritage, make her the perfect one to write the most complete and concise history of the indigenous group she calls The People of the Townhouse.
