As 2025 draws to a close, I’d like to send out sincere thanks to Anne Hillerman (annehillerman.com) and David Jonason (davidjonason.com) for the tremendous support they’ve offered me by lending their names and talent to my National Park Mystery series, and to my terrific environmental and social justice publisher Torrey House Press (torreyhouse.org).
Anne, the New York Times bestselling author of the Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito series, went above and beyond by writing the foreword for the Special 10th Anniversary Edition of GRAND CANYON SACRIFICE, the first book in my series, originally released in 2014 and re-released with Anne’s wonderful and thoughtful endorsement in April of this year.
David’s stunning oil paintings have graced the covers of my mysteries since the release of ARCHES ENEMY, book five in the series, released in 2019. He actually went out of his way to visit Great Sand Dunes National Park in preparation for creating the painting for the cover of GREAT SAND DUNES MASSACRE, book ten in my series, set for release June 2, 2026.
I am beyond fortunate to be the beneficiary of both Anne and David and their incredible creative talents.
Here’s to a boffo 2026!
