More About the Author
Anne Hillerman spent three years at work on "Tony Hillerman's Landscape: On the Road with Chee and Leaphorn." She and photographer Don Strel made numerous road trips to photograph and write about the landscapes beloved by New Mexico's best known author, mystery writer Tony Hillerman. Anne, the eldest of Tony and Marie Hillerman's six children, came to New Mexico as a child and enjoys living in the Southwest.
"In the process of researching the book, Don and I ran into mud, dust storms, rez dogs, snow and those pricelessly beautiful days Tony Hillerman wrote about for more than 35 years," Anne said. "I loved nearly every minute of it. My personal highlights included New Mexico's Bisti badlands, the mysterious landscape near Ship Rock and vast, empty Chaco Canyon."
Her next major project, "Gardens of Santa Fe," features photos of Santa Fe's finest gardens and interviews with their creators. It will be released by GibbsSmith Publishers in April, 2010. Anne is also the author of "Santa Fe Flavors: Best Restaurants and Recipes," which recently received top honors at the New Mexico Book Awards, "A Children's Guide to Santa Fe," "Done in the Sun," and two other books. She worked for many years as a journalist, receiving honors from the New Mexico Press Association and the National Federation of Press Women.
When she isn't working, Anne likes to ski, garden and experiment with new recipes in the kitchen.

More like a pamphlet than a book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Done in the Sun: Solar Projects for Children (Paperback)
I overlooked the page length of this book and was shocked to find that it is not even 1/4" thick. It is more like a pamphlet than a book, and I'm not feeling very happy about having paid $6.95 for it. I haven't read it yet, so will post about the content later.
