Beyond the Roadhouse: Murder in the Wild Horse Territory
This was my first novel and it chronicles the adventure that launched my career as a psychologist and an author. Yes, I wrote it on a long series of yellow legal pads while I was sitting in the Rio Arriba County jail. Jail is actually one of the best places in the world to write (as long as you don’t have bad roommates). I hope you have read it.
Another Damn Newcomer
When Audrie wrote this book, she focused on all the nice things and the nice people. She had a pro-social attitude, but when I, as her editor and daughter, read it, I reminded her that Reserve, New Mexico, wasn’t anything like that. It was a small-minded and mean place. So she added some of the real story, which diminished the charm of the town and her book about it. It’s a real story of the way things really were. Can’t say that I miss the place.
