What's new with Anne Hillerman?

June is shaping up as a busy month. Don Strel and I will be in Farmington, N.M., Mesa Verde National Park, Colo. and Petaluma and Santa Rosa, Calif. promoting Tony Hillerman's Landscape: On the Road with Chee and Leaphorn. Then back to New Mexico for more events for our Gardens of Santa Fe. The Farmington Library put togheter a beautiful flyer for us. We've had wonderful compliments on both books. Thank you!

2010  got off  to a great start. National Geographic included Santa Fe Flavors: Best Restaurants and Recipes in
its list of recommended reading about Santa Fe. I'm thrilled! And New Mexico Magazine has a beautiful excerpt from the Zuni chapter of Tony Hillerman's Landscape in the Februay, 2010 issue. Check it out! (It's not in the on-line version, just the print edition, but they promo us on the cover.) We also had wonderful stories in Journal North and The New Mexican's Pasatiempo.

Gardens of Santa Fe was released April 1, 2010 with a lovely book signing at Santa Fe's Garcia Street Books.(Click here for a look at the book. ) Don Strel's photos really shine! We're launching the book with benefits for Santa Fe Botanic Gardens and the Santa Fe Garden Club, a thank you for all their help with the project. Please email me if you'd like an invitation. We had a lovely article in Journal Santa Fe and another in the Las Cruces Sun News.

Other recent developments:.....Santa Fe Flavors: Best Restaurants and Recipes received the New Mexico Book Award as the best cookbook of 2009 at the annual awards banquet on Nov. 21, 2009. Our book tour continues with visits to several places in Colorado including beautiful Mesa Verde National Park, a presentation in Framington, NM as a benefit for the library. We've been to, or are planning to visit Park City, Utah; Mesilla, N.M. ;Az. and Chicago. We just learned that Tony Hillerman's Landscape received a first place award from New Mexico Press Women.

New Mexico Magazine calls Tony Hillerman's Landscape: On the Road with Chee and Leaphorn, "a multilayered odyssey through Indian Country."

ABQ ARTS awards Hillerman's Landscape top rating!

"There's plenty of inside info (like how "A Thief of Time" was Hillerman's own favorite of his Chee-Leaphorn mysteries) and gorgeous photography including a lush shot of the San Juan River (which is one of the settings for "A Thief of Time,") placid sheep at the Two Grey Hills Trading Post, and a panorama of San Francisco Peaks written about in "Listening Woman."

Tony Hillerman's Landscape: On the Road with Chee and Leaphorn

Anne and photographer Don Strel are now organizing their book tour!. Don has created an beautiful hour--long slide show using images from the book, other photos from their three years on the road, Hillerman family photos and Anne's script. The narrative talks about the forces that shaped Tony Hillerman into the writer he became, themes in his books, and the places that inspired him and framed his stories. If you'd like us to do a benefit for your non-profit organization,  please email us.

Take a look at our Calendar of Events for our signing schedule. Hope to see you there!

Santa Fe Flavors: Best Restaurants and Recipes

Yipee! Santa Fe Flavors won the 2009 New Mexico Book Award for best cookbook of 2009. This little book is garnering great publicity.
