The Sacred Feminine: Sacred Images of the Southwest
The Sacred Feminine

The Sacred Feminine

224 pages 43 illustrations
978-1-890689-27-8 $17.95
Sacred Feminine examines the role that culture, religion, sociology, art and gender played in the development of the religious Santero art, in particular, the images of women. Santero art beautifully portrayed the feminine both in nature and spirit. The Spanish loved the Virgin profoundly and fervently from the 12th century onward, within the Cult of Mary, in Spain and throughout Europe. This devotion reached its peak just before and during the discovery and conquest of the New World.

Saints of the Pueblos by Dr. Charles M. Carrillo will become a treasure for readers whose interests are the Pueblo and Hispanic cultures and arts of New Mexico. Carrillo combines the Catholic saint of a pueblo and design elements from that Pueblos early pottery and creates a unique retablo. Every Pueblo and the four abandoned Pueblos are honored with their own piece. The Indian Pueblo Culture Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico will host the opening of the exhibit. Saints of the Pueblos has beautiful color photographs of each retablo, pictures of the pottery, and black and white photographs from some of the Pueblos. I highly recommend this book and look forward to seeing the exhibit in August 2004. Museums across the country should consider inquiring about having this exhibit. -- Reviewers Consortium
In Saints of the Pueblos, prizewinning santero Dr. Charles Carrillo combines artistic tradition with historical research to create a visual testament to the role patron saints have played in linking New Mexico's Hispanic and Pueblo cultures.

This series of stories begins in Yvonsk, a small Polish town at the turn of the last century, and sweeps forward in time and place from New York City into the vast landscape of the American West. From the first, and throughout many of the stories, the Jewish experience and the Jewish consciousness of the writer emerges. Yet the writer's sensitivity to and love of the larger world, his interaction with its people and his empathetic response to their joys and tragedies, mark him as a writer of broader range. While these stories, in aggregate, can also be seen as the writer's autobiography, as individual pieces, the stories make a new contribution to the literature of American life of the twentieth century.

The Secundus Papyrus
Albert Noyer
Reg. price $14.95
ISBN 1-59264-034-6
Toby Press, 2003. 300 pages
November, A.D. 439, at Ravenna, Italy: surgeon Getorius Asterius and his wife Arcadia examine the body of Behan, a monk seemingly drowned in a penitential rite. A prophecy text they find in his hut suggests that a document of earthshaking importance will soon be revealed. Shortly after, during a visit with Galla Placidia, the emperor's mother, to a new mausoleum, a hidden niche violently reveals "the Last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ." The stunning terms of the will, if implemented by the Bishop of Rome, will bring apocalyptic chaos to the twin Roman empires.
Placidia suppresses the papyrus while authenticity is tested. After three witnesses are murdered, Getorius suggests that Rabbi David ben Zadok evaluate the text. His prediction of what will occur if the papyrus is released: empire-wide civil war. When Getorius is arrested on a false charge of dissecting the body of a monk, Arcadia is left alone to deal with the papyrus.
Late in December, Brenos, abbot of Behan's monastery, delayed by winter storms, arrives from Gaul, ostensibly to bury his dead monk but actually to reveal the will at the Nativity Mass. Frantic at discovering that the papyrus has been permanently discovered, Brenos meets with "Smyrna" his mysterious contact in Ravenna, in an effort to locate the document.
In the last late hours December 24, it is still not certain that fanatical members of a religious order will not succeed in establishing a theocracy designed to supplant the dying Western Empire.
REVIEWS
Albert Noyer is a novelist who knows how to make history come alive and seem important. [He] has an artist's eye for color and a scholar's passion for accuracy. -- DR. RONALD MODRAS / ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY
Noyer has an almost musical yet tight style of writing. Building suspense. . . he leads the reader to a surprise ending. Noyer, an art historian, uses a detailed knowledge of the Romans to entice the reader with descriptive passages on the religions, politics, food, medicine and day-to-day life of the time. -- THE ALBQUERQUE SUNDAY JOURNAL
The Secundus Papyrus, a historical mystery, is a welcome break from the deluge of beach-reading currently clogging up the bookshelves. Now don’t roll your eyes like that…yes, I know what you’re thinking. Historical mysteries…yawn…well not this time. The Secundus Papyrus is as potent as Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose, and with the same mix of interesting characters, historical setting and creepy atmosphere… With illuminating insights into fifth century medicine, religion and culture, The Secundus Papyrus is a highly intriguing story that breathes life and color into the twilight years of the Roman Empire. -- Lisa Polisar, abqARTS
This is a satisfying book to read. Noyer beautifully and effortlessly blends the many small details of daily life at the time into a really good mystery plot. With no effort on your part, you are smoothly transported to 5th century Ravenna, Italy, riding along on a bumpy cart, for example, with Getorius and Arcadia, enjoying the fragrant smells of baking bread and…roasting meat and fish. Noyer has obviously logged a good number of research hours for this book. He teaches us medicine as practiced then: the theory and the actual practices. He shows us the cultures, the religions, the minutiae of daily life. He also makes real for us the old saying the more things change, the more they stay the same. The religious arguments against dissection of a dead body mirror the arguments against such things as stem cell research today. He details the political maneuvering among the rulers and would-be rulers and the cultural gap between rich and poor_very much the same today.
This is the second historical mystery for Noyer; the first was The Saint’s Day Deaths, which in Noyer’s words,“…is in a sense a prequel to [Secundus] set at what is now Mainz, Germany, in AD 406, 33 years previously. The protagonists are Treverius and Blandina, the parents of Getorius. The Secundus Papyrus is the first of an already written trilogy that continues the sleuthing activities of Getorius and Arcadia.
I, for one, shall be waiting for the next book. ***1/2 -- Kay De Wit, Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine
Well written, serious, and excellently researched…. Getorius Asterius, orphaned by the murder of his parents in Moguntiacum and adopted by the physician Nicias…palace surgeon to the empress Galla Placidia, has been brought to Ravenna and trained as a physician, a man with an inquiring mind. He is married to Arcadia Valeriana, a beautiful but headstrong young Roman woman, determined to become a’ medica’ herself. Getorius is called in by the young emperor Valentinian III to examine the drowning death of a Hibernian hermit monk and the story takes off from there.
At the center of the story is a document, the ‘SecundusPapyrus,’ purported to be from the ‘Nazarene’ as Christ is called by the heretics. Revealed at its planned time, it would destroy the Roman world as known. Several peopleare involved in the discovery of the papyrus and resercah on its authenticity are found murdured or dead under suspicious circumstances, and it is a race against time for Getorius and Arcadia to assist the Empress in keeping the papyrus hidden and finding out who is behind the signs of the red rooster cropping up in connection with the document and the extent of a possible conspiracy.
Along the way, cleverly woven into the story, we are treated to descriptions of the imperial library and given a treatise on 5th century medicine, as well as all the divisions in the Church and apocalyptic view and not to forget, 5th century cuisine.It is not an easy read as mysteries go, especially with a time period not well known even to Roman history buffs, but wholly satisfying. Mr. Noyer has the ability to bring characters and their environment to life and build up a satisfying suspense…
This book is the first of a planned trilogy. I eagerly await the next one, titled The Cybelene Conspiracy. It will be released in Spring 2005. --Irene Hahn, The Roman History Reading Group

November, A.D. 439, at Ravenna, Italy: surgeon Getorius Asterius and his wife Arcadia examine the body of Behan, a monk seemingly drowned in a penitential rite. A prophecy text they find in his hut suggests that a document of earthshaking importance will soon be revealed. Shortly after, during a visit with Galla Placidia, the emperor's mother, to a new mausoleum, a hidden niche violently reveals "the Last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ." The stunning terms of the will, if implemented by the Bishop of Rome, will bring apocalyptic chaos to the twin Roman empires.
Placidia suppresses the papyrus while authenticity is tested. After three witnesses are murdered, Getorius suggests that Rabbi David ben Zadok evaluate the text. His prediction of what will occur if the papyrus is released: empire-wide civil war. When Getorius is arrested on a false charge of dissecting the body of a monk, Arcadia is left alone to deal with the papyrus.
Late in December, Brenos, abbot of Behan's monastery, delayed by winter storms, arrives from Gaul, ostensibly to bury his dead monk but actually to reveal the will at the Nativity Mass. Frantic at discovering that the papyrus has been permanently discovered, Brenos meets with "Smyrna" his mysterious contact in Ravenna, in an effort to locate the document.
In the last late hours December 24, it is still not certain that fanatical members of a religious order will not succeed in establishing a theocracy designed to supplant the dying Western Empire.
REVIEWS
Albert Noyer is a novelist who knows how to make history come alive and seem important. [He] has an artist's eye for color and a scholar's passion for accuracy. -- DR. RONALD MODRAS / ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY
Noyer has an almost musical yet tight style of writing. Building suspense. . . he leads the reader to a surprise ending. Noyer, an art historian, uses a detailed knowledge of the Romans to entice the reader with descriptive passages on the religions, politics, food, medicine and day-to-day life of the time. -- THE ALBQUERQUE SUNDAY JOURNAL
The Secundus Papyrus, a historical mystery, is a welcome break from the deluge of beach-reading currently clogging up the bookshelves. Now don’t roll your eyes like that…yes, I know what you’re thinking. Historical mysteries…yawn…well not this time. The Secundus Papyrus is as potent as Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose, and with the same mix of interesting characters, historical setting and creepy atmosphere… With illuminating insights into fifth century medicine, religion and culture, The Secundus Papyrus is a highly intriguing story that breathes life and color into the twilight years of the Roman Empire. -- Lisa Polisar, abqARTS
This is a satisfying book to read. Noyer beautifully and effortlessly blends the many small details of daily life at the time into a really good mystery plot. With no effort on your part, you are smoothly transported to 5th century Ravenna, Italy, riding along on a bumpy cart, for example, with Getorius and Arcadia, enjoying the fragrant smells of baking bread and…roasting meat and fish. Noyer has obviously logged a good number of research hours for this book. He teaches us medicine as practiced then: the theory and the actual practices. He shows us the cultures, the religions, the minutiae of daily life. He also makes real for us the old saying the more things change, the more they stay the same. The religious arguments against dissection of a dead body mirror the arguments against such things as stem cell research today. He details the political maneuvering among the rulers and would-be rulers and the cultural gap between rich and poor_very much the same today.
This is the second historical mystery for Noyer; the first was The Saint’s Day Deaths, which in Noyer’s words,“…is in a sense a prequel to [Secundus] set at what is now Mainz, Germany, in AD 406, 33 years previously. The protagonists are Treverius and Blandina, the parents of Getorius. The Secundus Papyrus is the first of an already written trilogy that continues the sleuthing activities of Getorius and Arcadia.
I, for one, shall be waiting for the next book. ***1/2 -- Kay De Wit, Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine
Well written, serious, and excellently researched…. Getorius Asterius, orphaned by the murder of his parents in Moguntiacum and adopted by the physician Nicias…palace surgeon to the empress Galla Placidia, has been brought to Ravenna and trained as a physician, a man with an inquiring mind. He is married to Arcadia Valeriana, a beautiful but headstrong young Roman woman, determined to become a’ medica’ herself. Getorius is called in by the young emperor Valentinian III to examine the drowning death of a Hibernian hermit monk and the story takes off from there.
At the center of the story is a document, the ‘SecundusPapyrus,’ purported to be from the ‘Nazarene’ as Christ is called by the heretics. Revealed at its planned time, it would destroy the Roman world as known. Several peopleare involved in the discovery of the papyrus and resercah on its authenticity are found murdured or dead under suspicious circumstances, and it is a race against time for Getorius and Arcadia to assist the Empress in keeping the papyrus hidden and finding out who is behind the signs of the red rooster cropping up in connection with the document and the extent of a possible conspiracy.
Along the way, cleverly woven into the story, we are treated to descriptions of the imperial library and given a treatise on 5th century medicine, as well as all the divisions in the Church and apocalyptic view and not to forget, 5th century cuisine.It is not an easy read as mysteries go, especially with a time period not well known even to Roman history buffs, but wholly satisfying. Mr. Noyer has the ability to bring characters and their environment to life and build up a satisfying suspense…
This book is the first of a planned trilogy. I eagerly await the next one, titled The Cybelene Conspiracy. It will be released in Spring 2005. --Irene Hahn, The Roman History Reading Group

When a young woman is found dead in the basement of UNM library with an illustration from a valuable book beside her, librarian Claire Reynier recognizes the victim as someone she had met, but whose name she never knew. To learn more, Claire must descend into the haunting world of the homeless in Albuquerque, where the dead woman was known simply as Maia.

But someone doesn't want Claire to shed too much light on the shadows of the past and will do anything to stop her investigation.

Description:
New Mexico POWs surviving the Bataan Death March, Navajo Code Talkers, Japanese Americans in New Mexico Internment Camps, and Los Alamos science teams of the Manhattan Project racing to develop the atomic bomb - the images stir together uneasily. Yet, these seemingly unrelated events of World War II were connected because of the unique qualities of the arid, spacious land that is New Mexico. Through personal interviews, the authors gently rouse the voices of long silent heroes who lived these remarkable events. The tapestry of tales is woven into a fascinating narrative with many ironic connections among New Mexicans, elements of Japanese culture, and the Pacific War where they met each other.
A fascinating and well-organized revelation of the many connections -- human, military and technical - between New Mexico and the Pacific War. -- Richard Rhodes, Winner of the 1994 Pulitzer Prize and author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb
Reviews
Silent Voices succeeds on two fronts -- as solid history and a collection of vignettes about real people whose actions changed the course of history. ... This book ought to be required reading for American and New Mexican history classes throughout the State. -- Anne Hillerman, (Albuquerque Journal)
New Mexicans are spotlighted in the outcome of WWII in the Pacific theater --the Bataan Death March, Navajo Code Talkers, and the Manhattan Project. -- Charles Bennett, New Mexico Magazine
This new book is commendable in illustrating the determination of Japanese Americans interned throughout the West to retain their dignity. -- Nancy E. Shockley, NM Historical Review
At last, a compelling, highly readable summary of New Mexicos greatest contributions to World War II, often in the words of the very New Mexicans who lived it. -- Richard Melzer, author of Breakdown: How the Secret of the Atomic Bomb Was Stolen During World War II

New Mexico POWs surviving the Bataan Death March, Navajo Code Talkers, Japanese Americans in New Mexico Internment Camps, and Los Alamos science teams of the Manhattan Project racing to develop the atomic bomb - the images stir together uneasily. Yet, these seemingly unrelated events of World War II were connected because of the unique qualities of the arid, spacious land that is New Mexico. Through personal interviews, the authors gently rouse the voices of long silent heroes who lived these remarkable events. The tapestry of tales is woven into a fascinating narrative with many ironic connections among New Mexicans, elements of Japanese culture, and the Pacific War where they met each other.
A fascinating and well-organized revelation of the many connections -- human, military and technical - between New Mexico and the Pacific War. -- Richard Rhodes, Winner of the 1994 Pulitzer Prize and author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb
Reviews
Silent Voices succeeds on two fronts -- as solid history and a collection of vignettes about real people whose actions changed the course of history. ... This book ought to be required reading for American and New Mexican history classes throughout the State. -- Anne Hillerman, (Albuquerque Journal)
New Mexicans are spotlighted in the outcome of WWII in the Pacific theater --the Bataan Death March, Navajo Code Talkers, and the Manhattan Project. -- Charles Bennett, New Mexico Magazine
This new book is commendable in illustrating the determination of Japanese Americans interned throughout the West to retain their dignity. -- Nancy E. Shockley, NM Historical Review
At last, a compelling, highly readable summary of New Mexicos greatest contributions to World War II, often in the words of the very New Mexicans who lived it. -- Richard Melzer, author of Breakdown: How the Secret of the Atomic Bomb Was Stolen During World War II

My most personal writing, this title deals with my lifelong passion for rock, ice and mountain climbing on three continents. These are my youthful climbs in America and Canada, my summer in the Alps and a true close encounter with death in Africa. My account of climbing Les Courtes in the Alps during the summer of 1981 has never been so completely told. There is also an important and useful chapter of results from a study of climbing accidents in Yosemite National Park which I was involved in during the 1980s.

…a car drove by, lights intruding through the living room windows. She started to close the drapes. The beams exploded in a red roar—flying glass and pain. Investigative reporter, Shelby McCoy, collapsed, a bullet near her spine. Twelve years later and still terrified by the moment, Shelby has fled newspaper work and heads the Public Relations Department at an arts mall in Mesa Vista, New Mexico. But she longs to overcome her fear and return to journalism. Can she do it?

Rating: * * * Quills
The combination of characters works well with each other, lending strength where one might have been lacking, enabling the strength of each to show through, and connecting like a well-knitted community. Not all is rosy perfect though; each character has its faults, which leave the reader without the total loss of reality.
Connie Gotsch has written a very good mystery, and does not away the whole whodunit too soon so that the reader does not get bored early on. "Snap Me a Future" is full of intrigue and mystery, not just in the basic overall plot, but the many minor inter-relationship ones -- things most of us deal with on a daily basis -- that help make this a moving book. -- Scribe and Quill.com
The story has a good flow, attends to every detail of plot, and presents many insights into desert photography. I also appreciated Ms. Gotsch’s characterizations. Charlie, a failed set designer and alcoholic, is convincing in a way that lends both pathos and unpredictable edge to the book. The relationship between Charlie and his parents is well developed as is Shelby’s relationship with him. The only jarring note was the author’s tendency to force a lot of information into supposedly casual conversation. This is a minor glitch in what is otherwise an excellent story.
Snap Me a Future is a fine book, especially for those who like to sink into a world and experience it as they read. -- Jeanette Cottrell, Reviewer

3 I recommend this to anyone who enjoys suspense. It’s a story of how to prove what happened more so than who done it. Shelby is in the middle of everything. She shows how strong she is, time and again. She overcame her fear from her situation in Iowa and feels confident and courage to go out and be an investigative reporter. On the side is a romance for Shelby. At 50, she finally found “Mr. Right.” -- Word Museum
This is the author’s second novel. Her first one was A Mouth Full Of Shell, was also by dlsijpress.com. In October, 2004 Gotsch published her poem, Roger Bacons Vision, with the e-zine Apollo’s Lyre at www.apolloslyre.com. A Farmington, New Mexico resident, Gotsch hosts a classical music show on public radio station KSJE-FM, and in that capacity creates a segment called Write On 4 Corners, for regional authors. She has covered the arts for numerous papers in New Mexico. To learn more about Connie Gotsch, and her book, go where there’s Imagination on Board -- to www.authorsden.com/conniegotsch. To check out dlsijpress go to www.dlsijpress.com -- Reviewer: Laurie Biundo
Connie Gotsch uses a wealth of life experience (or research!) to flesh out her work. When a reader turns the last page she walks away with a picture of a place (in this case the four corners area full of desert and ancient Indian archaeological sites) and more than a taste of one profession or another (in this case three public relations, newspaper reporting, and photography). When one reads a novel, one expects to be caught up in a good story and one hopes for good characterization, but to feel more knowledgeable as well is a nice bonus. -- Carolyn Howard Johnson Mysehlf.com

Stonehenge is a uniquely fascinating part of our national heritage, a source of mystery and wonder for centuries. It has specially perplexed many scientists, some of whom have deeply pondered the significance of its alignments and numerics. Prominent among them was Gerald Hawkins, a pioneer 'archaeo-astronomer' whose original ideas, publicised through his 1965 book "Stonehenge Decoded," have stimulated debate and controversy ever since. Sadly, he did not survive to see the publication of this book, co-authored with Hubert Allen. But this finely illustrated text is a fitting memorial to him, and will, as he would surely have hoped, help to introduce a new generation to Stonehenge and its mysteries. -- Sir Martin Reese, England's Astronomer Royal, from the back cover.

But this finely illustrated text is a fitting memorial to him, and will, as he would surely have hoped, help to introduce a new generation to Stonehenge and its mysteries. -- Sir Martin Reese, England's Astronomer Royal, from the back cover.
The Storks of La Caridad
Florence B. Weinberg
Reg. price $18.50 paperback
ISBN 1-933353-21-X
Twilight Time Books, 2005. 234 pages
Father Ignaz (Ygnacio) Pfefferkorn, a missionary from the Sonora Desert region of northern Mexico, is caught in the Expulsion of all Jesuits in 1767. After enduring eight years of prison and abuse, he is incarcerated in Caridad Monastery where the abbot recruits him to help solve two murders. In the course of his investigations, Father Ignaz finds his own life in peril."
REVIEWS
Brilliantly written and thoroughly researched, this book explores the complexities and contradictions of the Church during this time period. ...The political struggles in the monastery ring with realism, as do the actions of the characters. -- Reviewed by Joyce Handzo for In the Library Reviews
Weinberg, a retired professor of French and Spanish at Trinity University, brings her expertise on 18th-century Spain to bear in her excellent new novel. "La Caridad" works on two levels. First, it's a rollicking mystery, full of plot twists based on real events, interesting characters modeled after historical figures and more than its share of red herrings, mostly invented by Weinberg. Second, it's a scholarly re-creation of 18th century Spain, from the dress to the architecture to the food, thoroughly researched and seamlessly written. And let's just say that Weinberg knows her Spanish Inquisition and her colonial Catholicism. -- San Antonio Express-News

Street Milk
Robert Swearingen
Reg. price $11.95
ISBN 0971534403
Central Ave Press, 2002. 75 pages.
Awards
Benjamin Franklin Award, Publishers Marketing Association
In this collection of forty-four poems, Robert Swearingen takes us on a journey through a life that is by turns raw, humorous, and at times, poignant. With a brutal honesty that asks for neither pity nor condemnation, these poems tell of growing up in a rough blue-collar family in the fifties, of a young man working in the steel mills of Gary, Indiana, of love and the end of love, and finally, of a life on the streets for nearly two decades. He speaks — in the context of personal experience — of a life of material success, selfishness, loss, folly, loneliness, and the hope for a redemption that will transcend the mistakes of the past.
REVIEWS
Mr. Swearingen's work can probably be set side by side with some of the best poetry being written today. His images are fantastic and his line structure meticulous, his craft nosing about the perimeters always searching for ingenious ways to fit his experience, his vision in this literary contained area. -- Jimmy Santiago Baca
Not since Jim Daniels and Charles Bukowski has an American poet written so vividly about work and survival. And what makes Street Milk even more remarkable is that in many of these poems Robert Swearingen isn't engaged in what we typically know as work — he's at a bar — but his ability to document his existence is a testament to any work ethic. His job is being a poet, and the way these poems stay in your mind long after you finish them is ample proof of that. -- Hal Sirowitz
This first book of poems by Bob Swearingen has the qualities of a veteran worker in words. They are passionate with the language of small details, the human confusion of what is just, and the illusions of the human mind . . . this book is worth a standing ovation. -- Gene Frumkin
Here is poetry that is candidly honest, deftly written, sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant,and always interesting. -- Midwest Book Review
Being who you are and finding one's voice are truisms of the poet's quest for authenticity. Just how difficult and important that quest is to this poet is revealed by the huge energy and wide-eyed sweep of Swearingen's writing. He is a poet of body and soul and this work reveals a gritty, vibrant portrait of life on the road, rich with tales of abandon. -- Southwest Book Views
Street Milk is a simple, beautiful volume, filled with poems that are as contagious as any I've read or heard in a long time. -- Steven Robert Allen, Albuquerque Weekly Alibi
