From the author of ADOBE DREAMS and THE ANGLO, a short story collection from and of the Southwest. Fourteen stories, homegrown and handspun, in the fragile ecology of the desert mountains of the great Southwest. Rich in characters and rooted in the earth. http://jomoorefiction.com "I wrote these stories over the span of thirty years---living on the land, in the mountains, with the Old Timer homesteaders as my mentors and guides. They taught me how to garden, how to raise bees, what to feed my horse, how to peel a viga, and how to live in silence. They showed me by example what was important, and what was not. They are all gone now, and I am nearly one of the next generation of Old Timers here in the mountains. They bequeathed to me their legacy of respect for our Mother Earth and the clear blue skies above."

Moving stories, I laughed softly to myself, I cried. Subtle and nuanced, yet at the same time bold and provacative. I want more!!!

14 stories - 14 joys!,
This review is from: TURQUOISE AND OBSIDIAN: 14 STORIES (Paperback)
Do you ever say to yourself, "I need to stop and smell the roses?" - well if so, Turquoise and Obsidian is the rose you must smell.
Each of Moore's stories is a joy to read and a treasure to ponder. Its like a breath of fresh air - and being back to nature. These are great summer reads, at the cottage, in a arm chair...or propped up in bed by pillows...no matter where you are, these stories are truly wonderful! 10 out of 10!!!
