What's in the water at the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico?  Beloved author  Rudolfo Anaya set his classic novel, Bless Me, Ultima, in a fictional town based on his childhood growing up on the Llano, the open plain, in eastern New Mexico. The Blue Hole plays a significant role in my work in progress.

Abandoned Church

The opening chapter takes place in this abandoned church in eastern New Mexico.

The public library plays an important role in my WIP. I grew up climbing the  steps to this building that once housed the US Post Office and later the Clovis-Carver Public Library. A church meets here now, but the building lives on as a library in my WIP. 

Come see how Eudora Welty plays a role
