Praise for Santa Fe Noir
"If you picture Santa Fe, New Mexico, only as a sunny, vibrant, colorful Southwest arts mecca, this anthology will shred that image with feral claws." —Roundup Magazine
"A veritable road map of the city and surrounding area. It stretches from El Dorado to the Southside, Casa Solana and Cerrillos Road to the Santa Fe National Forest. The protagonists of the stories are psychotherapists, vagrants, teenagers, and gig workers. They drink and smoke. They drop acid and have sex. And more than a few are guilty of murder (or at least of justifiable homicide)." —Pasatiempo
"The book's diverse group of writers will provide readers with unexpected perspectives on this centuries-old city and its people." —Publishers Weekly
"Readers will never look at hand-thrown pottery, heirloom tomatoes, or spectacular sunsets the same way again." —Kirkus Reviews
