The Secret of Redbird Ridge
A Berryfield Mystery - Book One
by Mike Dart
In the hills of eastern Oklahoma, the town of Berryfield still holds tight to old ways, old stories, and old secrets.
Fifteen-year-old Layne Kaeller has spent her whole life hearing whispers about Redbird Ridge-the isolated Cherokee community hidden deep in the blackjack hills above town. Most folks in Berryfield avoid talking about the ridge after dark. The older generation especially.
But when strange encounters begin following a group of local teenagers after the annual Berry Festival, the line between folklore and reality starts to unravel.
As unexplained figures appear at the edge of the woods, ancient traditions resurface, and the land itself seems to awaken, Layne and her friends find themselves pulled into a mystery older than the town around them-one tied to Cherokee memory, forgotten promises, and something watching from deep within the trees.
Set in the larger Berryfield universe, The Secret of Redbird Ridge blends supernatural mystery, rural Appalachian-Ozark life, Cherokee cultural memory, family bonds, and small-town Southern Gothic atmosphere into a haunting coming-of-age story about identity, belonging, and the things some places never truly forget.
