ISBN 978-0-970604-63-7
Twin-Flames Publishing, 2005. 64 pages, 30 color plates
Santa Fe artist Steven Boone worked for over ten years to produce these skillfully rendered paintings. His collection of faces hanging from clotheslines offers a whimsical look at humanity. This book pokes fun at the human condition and is both provocative and intriguing.
REVIEWS
Boone’s ability to hear his inner voice and express it on canvas has allowed him to articulate a wide range of emotions. These paintings are portraiture rendered with such courage, insight, and humor that they prompt us to loosen, if only slightly, the traps we have created for ourselves. As we journey into the subconscious, we may dredge up the sediment of our own humanity, then smile, and say, “Oh yes, that’s true about me. -- Billy Dean Hester, Poet laureate Unity Church

The Onondaga in Upstate New York is one Tribe of the Iroquois Six Nations Confederacy; the others are the Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, and the Tuscarora.
When I approached the Onondaga Nation with my plans for a historical visual documentation project, I felt honored that the Council of Chiefs granted me permission to be on their Territory and photograph the people. And I feel equally honored that I was given use of their old Longhouse, which is filled with beautiful light, in order to make the portraits. The Longhouse is used for Tribal meetings and performing ceremonies, which include traditional singing and dancing. The photographs are a historic record for future generations, documents of a living tradition, as seen through the eyes of an artist with a camera.
REVIEWS
Knowing that she is an outsider whose work has won her rare access … she is respectful … The results are portraits with an elegant spareness and realism. Tucker's efforts have earned her the regard of the people she photographs. --LIFE
When I look at old pictures of the last century, I study the faces of my people, my relatives. I see details of clothes and home. I search for information in backgrounds. I place names with faces, and I see the continuing relationship between land and people, the continuity of life. I am pleased and grateful that someone back then understood the importance of records … They can be grateful to the perseverance, patience, integrity, and genius of Toba Tucker, who recorded for the future this moment in the ongoing history of the Onondaga Nation. -- Faithkeeper Turtle Clan, Oren R. Lyons, Onondaga Nation
Toba Tucker's vision of the Native American is authentic and compelling because her work consistently demonstrates a sensitive recognition of the collaborative essence of photography and a reverence for the sense of community that lies at the core of the American Indian experience. -- Alfred LBush, Curator, Princeton University Collections of Western Americana
Toba Tucker's HAUDENOSAUNEE: Portraits of The Firekeepers, The Onondaga Nation, with its strong and stirring photographs and its accompanying essays and drawings by distinguished Onondaga spiritual leaders, is a very valuable contribution to our sense and understanding of a Six Nations people who still have much to teach us, if only we would listen. -- Peter Matthiessen, Author

Called 'the Shadow' by Carl Jung, this part of us feeds our fears, inhibits our spontaneity and shuts down our natural selves. In Healing the Shadow, Santa Fe Shaman, Ross Bishop, offers a unique perspective on the shadow and how to deal with it. This truly remarkable book provides readers with the tools and resources to manifest positive change in their lives.
Healing The Shadow renders the ancient concepts of Shamanic healing into a form that can both be understood and used in the modern Western world. This book explains why your life is the way it is and provides meaningful help in managing it. That's a bold promise, but read the book. It delivers.
Shadow explains the origins of our stifled passion and how the fears and anxieties held in the shadow affects everything we do. In addition to explaining these limiting forces, the book offers practical tools to help you move through your self-limiting beliefs and fears.

Healing The Shadow is a transforming and life enhancing book. It is one of the best guides to understanding and transforming life you will ever read. Once you understand what has been really going on you will be in a vastly better position to make the changes you desire.

A father chronicles his journey with his cancer-stricken teenaged daughter through the “valley of the shadow of death”. Their healing quest leads across the country, leaving an indelible trail that fills the heart and soul of anyone that follows. Insights into how hardship benefits the progress of the soul.
REVIEWS
An empowering account of a teenager’s courageous battle with cancer and her father’s strengthened spiritual beliefs. Insights into art, dreams, meditations, affirmations, healers, chemotherapy, and faith. -- NAPRA ReView
The front and back covers of this book are extraordinary, giving a glimpse of the brevity of life, and the young woman who loved life with all her being. The writing style of the author swept me into his family’s lives as I shared the joys and struggles of Naomi as she explored every available treatment, and the impact she had on everyone who knew her. The book is written with love, filled with inspiration and spirituality. I was most impressed by the indomitable spirit of Naomi as her father captured her joy and delight as she lived her brief life to the fullest. Beautiful! -- Writer’s Digest
A touching testimony to the power of a father’s love for his daughter. Sensitively written, poignant, and inspiring. -- Jack Heinowitz, PhD, author of Pregnant Fathers and Fathering Right from the Start
Though there are many books about courage in the face of cancer, this one grabs readers by the heart and sweeps them along. Naomi, so special yet so familiar, is an irresistible heroine—miraculous despite her failure to find a cure. The fact that Boone, who isn't a professional writer, rendered such a tightly edited and moving narrative seems a miracle too. -- Review, January 2002 issue of Today’s Librarian
Winner of the Pinnacle Book Award, A Heart Traced In Sand: Reflections On A Daughter's Struggle For Life by Steven Boone is a personal memoir and candid reflection of a father's love for his daughter. This is the story of Steven's Boone's teenage daughter Naomi in the last two years of her young life which would prematurely end from cancer. Touching and heartfelt in his faith in God's care and as a living testimony to the human spirit, Steven Boone's A Heart Traced in Sand is emotionally moving in its shared revelation, and is especially recommended reading for anyone having to deal with chemotherapy and faith within lives of themselves, their families, and their friends. -- Midwest Review

University of New Mexico Press, 1996, 104 Pages, 93 Photographs
I photographed and interviewed the people of Heber Springs, Arkansas for two years in order to explore the continuity and changes within this rural community, by comparing and contrasting my contemporary images with the body of portraits created by Mike Disfarmer, who operated a portrait studio on Main Street in Heber Springs in the 30's and 40's. These images chronicle the influence of economic, social and political development since Disfarmer's time, and show how these influences have brought changes to the people and community of Heber Springs.
Disfarmer created a remarkably moving and insightful series of photographic portraits documenting the character of a segment of small-town America at a time when its endurance was being severely tested and its values were in transition. Without any sociological intentions on Disfarmer's part, the community's strength in the face of those challenges is explored in his compelling, uncompromising portraits.
REVIEWS
In their separate ways the Disfarmer and the Tucker images are strong pictures of strong, vivid, magnetically intriguing people. … Though the lighting is different and the edges less taut with some obscure energy, her picture of the three young girls, grand-daughters and great-granddaughter of original Disfarmer subjects, evokes the old studio and its collaborative performances of self-portrayal. So do her close images, in which we feel distance between camera and subject on the verge of dissolving into a mutual touch. -- Alan Trachtenberg PhD, Author and Professor of American History, Yale University

2004 Southwest Books of the Year
The history of the Church of the Holy Faith in Santa Fe is of special interest for several reasons. It is one of the oldest churches of any Protestant denomination in New Mexico. Its early leaders, men like Governor Bradford Prince, Senator Thomas Catron, and Senator Bronson Cutting, were prominent in government and politics; their careers linked church and state in early twentieth century Santa Fe. Some of its buildings were designed by the greatest architect of the Santa Fe style, John Gaw Meem. Art work in the church includes a reredos by the well-known artist Gustave Baumann. The history of Holy Faith is thus part of the political and artistic history of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Southwest.

Some refer to Santa Fe as “the city different.” It is different in most wonderful ways — the historical neighborhoods and architecture and the Spanish traditions. Besides being the capitol of New Mexico, it might be considered to be the cultural capitol as well because of the dominance of the arts and music. All these aspects of Santa Fe are evident at Holy Faith, which makes the history so interesting to read. -- The Historiographer

A complete expose of the undeclared war against crime in America costing several times the number of lives and money than the offshore war on Terrorism. An eye-opener for America where home grown terrorism is costing over $675 billion annually in our own nation.
REVIEWS:
The author, a previous radio talk show host on justice in America has appeared on dozens of radio shows nationwide and stated the most feared and deadliest home grown terrorist in America are the DWI‚s or DUI‚s that continue to drive on America‚s streets and highways-sometime with as many as 20 prior arrests. These terrorists have killed and maimed more Americans than in all our wars combined. Sorrell blames the revolving door justice system created by lawyers on and off the bench that dominate the justice system for this tragic fact.
Sorrell states also the 350% increase in crime during the past 40-years is tied directly to the slide toward immorality in the nation. A complete chapter of the book is devoted to this subject. He says that Homegrown Terrorism is the most dangerous and deadly war Americans have faced-claiming no war has ever altered the lifestyle of Americans more. Sorrell says unless our government leaders actually declare war against crime in America and begin with drastic legal justice reform the nation will face vigilante justice and anarchy in the future. He cites examples of vigilante justice in and out of the courtroom that have occurred recently.
The author says most Americans are stunned to discover that 151,000,000 million crimes have been committed against citizens during the thirteen-year period ending 2002. A chapter of the book offers a strategy of twenty-two actions it will take to win the war against crime in America and number one on the list is legal justice reform of the entire justice system in America. -- CyberRead Marketplace

Michelle Miller
$12.00
ISBN 0-938513-15-x
Amador Publishers, 1992 short fiction, 170 pp
A ghost town hermit desiring renewed human contact begins a journal to record her four years in isolation. A man (her animus?) appears, leaving mysterious and puzzling clues to his presence, and initiating a strange courtship which compels the woman into a profound and bewildering journey of mind, body and spirit. Subterranean encounters between the sexes move across contemporary American city and desert landscapes.
AWARD WINNER: New Mexico Press Women's Zia Award BEST BOOK 1993
Michelle Miller goes where woman has not gone before. She has the guts and the imagination to ask our most dangerous questions. Read her -- you won't ever feel as alone again.-- Sharon Niederman, THE SANTA FE REPORTER
Miller's narrator speaks spontaneously in a range of emotions we can feel, hear and experience -- anger, loneliness, humor, longing. Miller crafts a seemingly fantastic experience into one of startling reality, one that dares us to look at our real hungers as women in a world that so readily accepts masks. In these stories, which all deal with some aspect of our instinctual urges, the reader has the opportunity to experience a similar hunger, a hunger for anything that might happen between people without masks or ritual or fear.-- BELLES LETTRES
Michelle Miller is a high risk writer. ... And when her risks do pay off, they pay big... The personal element given to the story by this confessional diary approach makes it interactive in the strongest sense, trapping the reader in a net of interest.-- Eva von Kesselhausen, SMALL PRESS REVIEW
