My name is Austen Brauker. I am a member of the Ottawa tribe from Manistee, Michigan. I recently won Best Horror script at the Love Unlimited International Film Festival. I have received positive script coverage from CoverageInk and Creative World. I have several scripts already written and several in process. I have written two fiction novels. One has been self-published. I have had two theatrical plays produced at a local college. I write monthly articles for a local newspaper. My screenplay "White Buffalo" has been picked up by a film production company for development (Wild Horse Films). I am also an accomplished visual artist (winner of several national contests including the NCAI Indian Congress art for 2011) and a musician (Four original CD's of home studio produced music) and have much work posted online at different art, music and writing sites. I play and write both traditional and contemporary musical forms. I attended CMU for psychology and West Shore for criminal justice. I hunt elk, bear, deer and spear salmon. I worked as the herd manager of a large buffalo preserve. I write federal grants and small business proposals. I have owned several art related businesses. I have art in numerous galleries and murals painted in several public locations. I currently work as a Peacemaker/Probation Officer for the tribal court of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians.

Story behind the song
This song sets the mood for scenic hwy M-22 in northern Michigan where people are being murdered. The mangled and dismembered bodies of several tourists have been found, prompting drunken rednecks to hunt the deep woods for cougars. The real culprit is a small humanoid monster called a "Homunculus." This creature is created from an ancient alchemy tome by an evil doctor who is searching for the "Philosopher's Stone" a healing elixir made from a discharge secreted from glands on the monster's ankles. The gelatinous ooze can heal wounds. The Homunculus fuses and reanimates the severed flesh parts of it's victims and creates horrible abominations with human and animal appendages. A native American youth must turn to his traditional Ottawa ways and find the strength to overcome the terrible creature that is devouring his community and bring harmony back to the forests of his homeland. Truely horrible and bloody. Mystical and spiritual. The young man finds his direction within the sweat lodges, and with a little help from a lycanthropic entity who intervenes. Very intense and disturbing, but so much the better when the evil is vanquished.
