Quirky New Mexico Stories

A joint discussion and reading by Pari Noskin Taichert, author of “The Socorro Blast,” and Martha Egan, author of “La Ranfla,” at the UNM Bookstore, bookstore.unm.edu.

“The Socorro Blast” is the third in a series of mystery novels about Sasha Solomon, a reality-challenged, whipped-cream dependent PR consultant who helps small towns with tourism projects and solves murders.

“La Ranfla & Other New Mexico Stories” “captures the quirkiness of Northern New Mexico in a series of colorfully drawn short stories rich with wonderfully authentic characters. It’s a fine, fine ride,” says Anne Hillerman.
