BOOK FIESTA IN SANTA FE — NO COST TO PARTICIPATE!!!
The New Mexico Book Co-op and Clear Light Publishers in Santa Fe are banding together to organize two special book selling opportunities in Santa Fe.
Clear Light Publishers has graciously offered to host two events in Santa Fe at their new Clear Light Book Gallery on West San Mateo for the Book Awards Winners & Finalists and a book Fiesta for everyone. Please read rules carefully; space is limited so act fast. Clear Light Book Gallery is located at 851 West San Mateo (next to Open Hands). They have 3,000 square feet of display space available for us.
JANUARY 31, 2009 -- Winners & Finalists Book Fiesta
On January 31, 2009, there will be an event for Winners & Finalists in the 2008 Book Awards.
FEBRUARY 21, 2009 — Book Fiesta for Everyone
On February 21, 2009, they will have a Book Fiesta for anyone.
FREE, but you must help in promotion. There will be no cost to participate in either event. If you wish to participate you must send the email addresses of at least 25 of your potential customers (who might come to the events) in the Santa Fe area (40 email addresses if you want to participate in both events) and send these addresses to info@nmbookcoop.com. The New Mexico Book Co-op will handle the publicity for the events and will send out email announcements to people to encourage people to attend.
The events will be 10am-4pm and you are asked to be there by 9:30am to set up. No tear-down is allowed before 4pm. Each participant will have 1/2 of a table (two people to a table); if you have more than 10 titles, arrangements can be made for a larger space. A participant may bring other books as well Participation will be on a first-come basis, until space is gone. Tables will be provided for both events. You don’t have to bring tables. Participants get 75% of all book sales; 25% will go to Clear Light for handling all sales. Clear Light will handle the cash register and credit card processing. Checks for sales will be sent out a week after the event. Books must be marked with price (we highly advise removable labels that are available at stores like Staples and Office Max).
ANOTHER BOOK DISPLAY OPPORTUNITY
Clear Light Book Gallery has just re-opened in its new location on San Mateo Street in Santa Fe and is interested in having a display of New Mexico books from the Book Award Winners and from the recent New Mexico Book Catalog. They cannot guarantee sales so they want a single copy of each winner and catalog book to display on a consignment basis. If they get interested buyers, they will order more from you. Clear Light Book Gallery features children’s books, cookbooks, Native American, Hispanic, Southwest & Holistic books, and Southwest gift items. If you are interested in participating in this display please contact Harmon Houghton at 505/989-9590.

Write On Author Sandi Ault Wins Award
On December 9, 2008 Library Journal named Sandi Ault's WILD INFERNO one of its Best Books of the Year, the second Best of 2008 list on which the novel has placed. WILD INFERNO was one of only five mysteries that made the prestigious list. Founded in 1876, LP is a premier trade journal for librarians and has the highest circulation of any librarianship journal. Its “Library Journal Book Review” publishes prepublication and new book reviews. LJ together with the other major insider publication, Publishers Weekly, gave WILD INFERNO a pair of starred reviews. In November, 2008 PW placed WILD INFERNO on its Best Books of the Year list and listed it as one of only nine in the mystery genre.
Ault also received starred reviews from both for her first novel, WILD INDIGO, which received critical acclaim with the media as well as the prestigious Mary Higgins Clark – Edgar award, which was the first time a debut novel had received this award.
WILD INFERNO is Ms. Ault’s second addition to the WILD mystery series, which again features rough and ready Bureau of Land Management agent Jamaica Wild and her memorable pet wolf, Mountain. The setting of this second book is in the midst of a blazing wildfire while Native Americans are performing sacred ceremony at Chimney Rock. Jamaica’s task is to keep them safe while her life is threatened both by man and fire. Now listed as one of the Best Books of the Year for 2008 by both Library Journal and Publishers Weekly, it is a must read. Both books are published by Berkley Prime Crime/Penguin USA and are available at booksellers everywhere.
WATCH for Ms. Ault’s newest release WILD SORROW on March 3, 2009.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Sandi Ault writes, researches, and explores the Southwest; and teaches WILD Writing Workshops. She is a former Type 2 Fire Information Officer and responded locally and nationally to wildfires. In her preparations for the WILD books, Sandi spent years studying Pueblo Indian customs, rituals, and ceremonies, and sharing life with a Pueblo family. Sandi and her husband live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with their wolf Tiwa and their cat Buckskin. Visit her on the web at www.sandiault.com
