About Me and My Book:

Growing up in El Paso instilled in me a fascination with all things New Mexican. "The Land of Enchantment" contains White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, towering mountains, the ghost of Billy the Kid, Aliens in Roswell, and exotic Indian Pueblos. I attended the University of New Mexico, eventually became president of New Mexico State University, and decided to write murder mysteries set in New Mexico after I retired. You can learn more about my books at www.orenduff.org.

I would like to connect with you there also. I am trying to make more friends and fans so that I can spread awareness for breast cancer during pregnancy. I was diagnosed Stage 3 in the 5th month of my pregnancy in May. My status updates on Facebook and LinkedIn are usually about my fight.

At 7:42am on August 30, 2009, Susan Whitfield said…: Good morning, MIchael. I'm ready for your interview, picture, bio, book cover and short synop or blurb. I like to get them in about a week ahead so I can set up the post. Please send the items to ssn.whitfield@gmail.com I look forward to learning more about you and your writing. Let' both get the word out that you're up the week of September 7th. Thanks so much!

At 6:10pm on August 25, 2009, Sunny Frazier said…: Michael, everyone kept saying they wish they had a group like ours. That's one of the reasons why we started posting like this. June jots down the threads and then we do a round-robin via email and encapsulate the conversation. We had a real blow-out last week, I think that's going to be posted in Sept. Sarah, our youngest member, sulked a bit at our critique of her short story. My throwing the pages in the air did NOT make the blog. Yes, I can do the tough-love thing. Feathers are now smoothed. Writing goes on.

A new post went up yesterday. We're posting on Mondays. Talk this time is about a local murder trial and contest strategies.

"The Land of Enchantment" is actually the state motto of New Mexico, which is why I put in it quotes. But now that I read it, it does sound like the title of a book I'm trying to promote. In fact, my book is "The Pot Thief Who Studied Pythagoras." And you are right, Ann, I love books written by natives of interesting locales because of the sense of place the impart.

Land of Enchantment sounds like a marvelous book. There's nothing like a book written by a native of the area. We find out all sorts of "secrets" that way.
