Thomas Atkins

Spirit of the Jaguar Thomas Atkins

When sixteen-year-old Danny Martin travels for the first time to his father's banana plantation deep in the jungles of British Honduras, he encounters a host of exotic creatures from poisonous snakes, wild hogs, huge tarantulas to howler monkeys with roars that carry for miles. His life is changed when he meets a new friend Annie O'Bannon who manages a refuge for wounded animals. Together he and Annie venture far into the jungle where they have a startling encounter with a black jaguar, a creature that the local Maya regard as "un espiritu"-a spirit. Atkins is also the author of the novels "The Midnight Tapestries" and "The Bay Road," both available on Amazon.
