FUNDS ARE STILL NEEDED

By Trace L Hentz (formerly DeMeyer)

Back in the early 2000s, I met Narragansett writer John Christian Hopkins, who is a prolific writer, author and journalist.  He worked as staffwriter at the Pequot Times when I was their editor.  John had worked for many newspapers, including USA TODAY.

In 2011, he and I started a small publishing collective Blue Hand Books (now called Bad Banana). 

About his writing:

A member of the Native American Journalists Association, in 2003 Hopkins became the first NAJA member to win awards in four different writing categories in the same year. "I've won awards over the years, but don't pay much attention to them," Hopkins said. "But I'll let you know when 'People' magazine names me Sexiest Man Alive!" Hopkins also served on the Narragansett Tribal Council (1994-1996) and founded the tribe's first newspaper. 

“Writer on the Storm” is a collection of irreverent observations on myriad subjects like the Kardashians, the Navajo, and Duggars. The book captures the power, humor and sentimentality of Hopkins’ writing. It includes a bonus chapter on the legendary TARZAN BROWN, a famous marathon runner who is John's great-uncle.

“We could not be happier to release both TWO GUNS and WRITER ON THE STORM at the height of book buying season,” said his publisher Lara Trace Hentz. “These books will make great gifts for everyone on your shopping list. John is truly a prolific writer; he just keeps pumping out great books like his hands are on fire.”

Now living in Rhode Island, John fell and was rushed to the hospital in early February and his Navajo Wife Sararesa has posted this on Go Fund Me: https://gofund.me/f9757793

You can also help if you buy one of his many books!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart if you can help them navigate his injury with financial support and his healing with your prayers.
