Under her formal name, Eileen “ike” West authored two full length novels. Her latest, Another Giant World (UK 2018) and her first, Away From Hannah’s Castle (USA and NL 2006) place spiritual adventures in the reader’s hands.

Around the world, ike West articles have been published in English, and translated into many languages. The enclosed list of articles and the magazine, journal, and newspaper in which they were published, provides an overview of ike’s writing through the years.

Today, the way to capture the speed at which the world revolves is to note what can be locked into poetic form. That’s exactly what ike has done. A whole book of poems with the working title Akin to Anemic Cows is now under consideration by US publishers. 

While living on remote ranch land in West Texas, ike West penned rudimentary cartoons to share with friends and family in the form of a calendar, showing a cartoon theme each month. Today, the cartoons serve as an endearing reminder of ike’s 1980’s worldview.

ike West has a number of works in progress: volume two of her poetry collection; a non-fiction book outlined and ready to flush out; as well as various projects with her granddaughter, Sophie, Eagle who created the current ikewest.com website.

ike West supports Native American families and organizations, serving the Dakota and others. Other volunteer endeavors include developing innovative service programs to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of women in North America and around the globe.
