Archivist Claire Reynier may have a priceless find on her hands. A woman named Isabel Santos has discovered a faded document hidden for hundreds of years under the floor of her family's adobe house. It could be the controversial last words of a Jewish mystic condemned to death by the Inquisition in Mexico City. But before Claire can establish the document's authenticity, it disappears, and tragedy visits the Santos family. As Claire searches for the missing paper, she fears that uncovering the history of a dark and dangerous time may bolster her career . . . at the cost of her life.

Ruben E. Archuleta
Reg. price $22.95 softcover
ISBN 0-9742840-0-9
El Jefe, 2003. 279 pages, over 100 black & white pictures
This book provides an extraordinary insight into a lost Penitente world. It is based on New Mexico family journals, Penitente interviews, and personal experiences that detail their rituals, and their lives which are dedicated to their Church, Brothers, and families. The writings are enhanced by several illustrations and photos, some dating back to the early 1900’s. They depict the Penitente rites, processions, garb, instruments, and their moradas, a place of gathering and worship. Lenten meal and recipes are included in this book.
REVIEWS
Ruben E. Archuleta, Pueblo’s retired police chief, has compiled a remarkable collection of material about Penitentes in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. His publication differs from existing books and articles on this subject because it contains numerous documents and personal interviews rather than a formal history of the Fraternidad de Nuestro Padre Jesus de Nazareno. -- Valley News
A must book for all households is a new book by former Pueblo police chief, Ruben Archuleta titled Land of the Penitentes, Land of Tradition. Over 200 pages, with pictures and names. Perhaps someone you know. -- Hispania News
Colorado Attorney General Ken Salazar took a break from the state business Friday to help former Police Chief Ruben Archuleta preview the chief’s new book about the Penitentes. Their rumored activities are legend in Southern Colorado but the real story of the secretive Penitentes - a religious fraternity for Spanish-speaking Hispanic men – isn’t so dramatic, Archuleta’s new book maintains. -- The Pueblo Chieftain
The author was given unprecedented access and has a number of his own photos in the book. There is a useful bibliography and glossary. This book may change your mind about the Penitentes and may quell some of the rumors. -- Tradicion Revista

One pessimist declared they wouldn't last six weeks. Their parents were puzzled but hopeful. Their children said, "Go for it" — and go for it they did. With their nest emptied and retirement behind them, Margaret and Howard Tessler sold their home, moved into a thirty-foot travel trailer, and set out to tour the country.

Awards
2003 EPPIE Winner
A tale of murder, a lost gold mine, and a lone woman’s compelling secret, Listen to the Mockingbird, combines the real with the fictional against a backdrop of the Civil War in the Territory of New Mexico.
Matty Summerhayes is headstrong, capable, and confident she can develop a horse ranch, even in harsh conditions of 1860’s New Mexico. But a stranger comes to live in a cave on her land, another is gunned down in the night, and in his pocket she finds a yellowed bit of foolscap covered with baffling markings. Then Texans invade her valley for the Confederacy, and soon disaster is stalking her.
REVIEWS
Occasionally one of the thousands of books published each year just grabs the reader and won’t let go. This is one of those rare finds... This novel set in southern New Mexico during the Civil War is entertaining, informative, and beautifully written.... Matilda “Matty” Summerhayes narrates, coaxes, amazes and thoroughly captures her audience as she strives for some kind of freedom as a single female in a military society heavily weighted toward the rights of men.... Be prepared to forget meals and stay up all night when you start reading this book. Matty’s word-pictures and unorthodox civil disobedience will hold your attention until the last page. -- Betty Parker, Southwest Bookviews
The pages turn themselves and the reader is unable to stop them... well written, researched, and edited.... -- Evelyn Muegge, All About Murder
Starts with a wallop and steadily builds to a gripping conclusion. Listen to the Mockingbird vividly recreates the dangers of life in New Mexico Territory during the Civil War, and one woman's triumph over adversity. Penny Rudolph is a great story teller... -- Timeless-tales

Marc Simmons is truly one of New Mexico’s giants of history and his many books, articles, and talks will be of use for many years. This is not a book to sit by the fire but rather a researchers treasure trove of everything. It was a monumental task to get all of this in order.

These letters between Maria Chabot and Georgia O'Keeffe describe their love for northern New Mexico, the hardships of life there during World War II, and their interactions with the diverse cultural groups of the region.
REVIEWS
We marveled at the discovery process and knew people would love to read the letters. Everyone wants to know more about Georgia. This book highlights 678 letters between Chabot and Georgia and Stieglitz while Chabot was writing during the WPA. Some of the letters are about rather mundane things like the flowers/shrubs, fixing pipes, building a house, camping trips, and house maintenance. Others are deeply profound and are about things we want to know about like the Penitente Brothers and the Abiquiu moradas. The photos are wonderful glimpses — many by Chabot herself. This is a must have for those interested in Ghost Ranch, O’Keefe, Chabot, or that period in time. -- Tradicion Revista

This exciting work, coauthored by one of the most gifted visionaries and mystics of our times, draws on information received in apparitions from Mary about her life as the mother of Jesus and the origins of Christianity. These stunning revelations, as intriguing as they are compelling, place sacred relationship and sexual intimacy at the heart of the spiritual quest and our longing for union with the divine. Readers will be thrilled with this fresh and illuminating perspective from the Divine Mother on romantic love, relationship and marriage, and love-making and how they are meant to be a path to God. We are at a time, she relates, when we must come to see that romantic relationship and love-making are meant to be a path by which we return to God. This beautiful testament to love culminates in prophetic revelations about the momentous changes currently facing our world and how we are being called to respond to them.

Let Abe Peña transport you to a Hispanic New Mexico village. There in San Mateo and in the nearby town of Grants, he introduces us to relatives and friends from his youth on his family’s sheep ranch. His stories of their lives and experiences between the 1920s and the 1950s speak to such universal themes as coming of age, striking out on one’s own, and joining family and neighbors to celebrate good times and to aid them in overcoming hardships.
Though San Mateo was a remote village, its residents were a remarkable cross-section of humanity. We meet Lebanese immigrant children who grew up primarily speaking Spanish and who proudly exclaimed “Yo soy mexicano, casi” (I’m Hispanic, almost). When a religious procession done in hopes of bringing rain results instead in hail, the villagers organize a second procession and parade their patron saint to show him “the mess he made.” And an aged Navajo, in allowing cattle to be driven across his land, asks only that they go by his hogan’s door so he can hear and smell them.
Abe Peña ran the family ranch for many years before serving twelve years in Latin America in various foreign service positions.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Abe Peña writes about the people of San Mateo and other nearby places from the 1920s to 1950s. Pena, who lives in Grants, grew up on a sheep ranch near San Mateo, immersed in the traditional Hispanic culture of west-central New Mexico. He ran the family ranch for many years before serving 12 years in Latin America in foreign service positions. Pena writes about traditional events such as Los Pastores, the shepherds’ pageant performed at Christmas time. He remembers Spanish-speaking Lebanese immigrant children who proudly proclaimed, “Yo soy Mexicano, casi” (I’m Hispanic, almost). He tells of villagers who in a drought paraded a statue of their patron saint in hopes of rain. When hail fell instead, they took him out of the church again to show him “the mess he made.”
“Peña has a good ear for a story,” says historian Marc Simmons, who wrote the book’s introduction. “The engaging men and women who walk so freely through his pages seemed infused with the elixir of southwestern air and landscape and with the tonic of their own vibrant cultural history.”
