Publisher Harry Wilson Amador Press
Celebrating Harry Willson
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Harry Willson, the co-founder of Amador Publishers in Albuquerque.
Harry Willson, co-founder of Amador Publishers and prolific writer of fiction, satire, social commentary and philosophy died on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at the age of 77. His published works, the novels A WORLD FOR THE MEEK, SOULS AND CELLS REMEMBER, and THIS’LL KILL YA; short story collections DUKE CITY TALES and VERMIN AND OTHER ENDANGERED SPECIES; and non-fiction FREEDOM FROM GOD and MYTH AND MORTALITY, attracted a diverse and enthusiastic audience. In addition, Harry wrote a monthly column for the Amador Publishers web site—totaling more than 150 essays over the years—and he was published in a variety of local and national periodicals. Readers frequently corresponded with Harry, letting let him know how they were personally touched by his writing; some claimed he had changed their lives.
Harry’s ability to put big, difficult subjects into personal terms with plain-spoken clarity, wry humor and abiding love led some to label his writing “folksy” and “homespun,” but this belies his impressive academic credentials and professional accomplishments, not to mention some heroic life experiences “walking the talk” of a dedicated activist for peace, social equality, and environmental protection.
Harry Willson received a B.A. in chemistry and math at Lafayette College, Easton, PA, 1953 [summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa], and an M.Dv. [Master of Divinity] in ancient mid-east language and literature at Princeton Theological Seminary. He became bilingual through one year of Spanish Studies at the University of Madrid, and later studied Spanish, literature, philosophy, mythology and theater arts at the University of New Mexico. He holds the Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera from the University of Salamanca. He served as student pastor at the Presbyterian Church, Hamburg, NJ, for four years while in seminary. In 1958 Harry moved his family to New Mexico, where he served as bi-lingual missionary pastor in Bernalillo, Alameda and Placitas for eight years. He served as Permanent Clerk of the Presbytery of Rio Grande, Chairman of Enlistments and Candidates, Chairman of the Commission on Race, and Moderator of the Presbytery. In 1965 Harry answered Dr. Martin Luther King’s call for clergy to go to Selma, Alabama to assist in voter registration and demonstrations again police brutality in the wake of “Bloody Sunday.” He participated in the successful march from Selma to Montgomery on March 25, where he personally witnessed Dr. King deliver his “How Long, Not Long” speech. Not long after that, in 1966, Harry left the church “in sorrow and anger” over their failure to take a stand against the Vietnam War. After quitting the clergy, Harry taught for ten years, at the Albuquerque Academy and at Sandia Preparatory School, then retired from teaching to devote himself to his writing. In 1986 Harry and his wife Adela Amador founded Amador Publishers, dedicating their press to “peace, equality, respect for all cultures and preservation of the biosphere.” They quickly set about fulfilling that mission.
In addition to publishing Harry’s books, the press took on local authors of southwest and literary fiction, including Michael H. Thomas, Ben Tarver, David L. Condit, Tim MacCurdy and Michelle Miller Allen. Adela gained notoriety in her own right with her recipe books, New Mexico cuentos, and a 17-year stint as the author of the “Southwest Flavor” column in NEW MEXICO MAGAZINE. After meeting Eva and Manfred Krutein through a cultural exchange program, Harry and Adela published four titles by the brilliant émigrés from war-torn Europe. They published the fiction works of acclaimed literary scholar Gene H. Bell-Villada, and “the world’s first anti-smoking novel” by Arthur L. Hoffman. Harry’s opposition to radioactive dumping in New Mexico led him to publish the anti-nuclear manifesto of physicist Charles L. Hyder, to support Dr. Hyder in his fast against the Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP) in Carlsbad, NM, and to personally provide testimony to the DOE in opposition to the plant.
In 1989 Harry took author-artist Zelda Leah Gatuskin under his wing and launched her literary career with the publication of her novel THE TIME DANCER; several more of her own books followed, and Zelda also helped with other projects. In 2006 Zelda joined Harry and Adela as co-owner and managing editor of the press; she has now become sole owner of the press and succeeds Harry as Editor-in-Chief. Zelda is committed to perpetuating the mission Harry and Adela set forth for their publishing company and to preserve Amador Publishers as an independent, humanist press. Along with adding new authors, she will continue to publish the works of Harry Willson, for he left behind an extensive collection of unpublished essays and fiction.
The Amador Publishers family of authors, artists and associates will miss Harry’s loving, courageous leadership. We extend our deepest sympathies to Adela and all members of the Willson and Amador families, and to all of Harry’s dear friends from the Humanist Society of New Mexico, of which he was a devoted member. Harry’s family requests that all tributes be made in the form of donations to that organization: HSNM, P.O. Box 13675, Albuquerque, NM 87192 (505) 366-8721, info@humanistsocietyofnm.org www.humanistsocietyofnm.org
More information about Harry Willson’s books and the complete line of Amador Publishers titles is available at the website: www.amadorbooks.com
Come Celebrate Harry's life at an Open House on March 21
An Open House celebrating Harry's life will be held at La Fonda del Bosque Restaurant at the National Hispanic Cultural Center (1701 4th Street SW, at Bridge Street) from 4 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 21st. In lieu of flowers, the family asks your support for the Humanist Society of New Mexico, of which Harry was a long-time member.
In addition to a family remembrance to take place Sunday March 21, 2010, Amador Publishers, LLC will host a community “Book Bash” at a later date to honor Harry’s life and work, details to be announced.

New Mexico Press women Looking for Female Fiction Writers
An outstanding New Mexican writer will be honored for her work in fiction next spring when her book receives the prestigious Zia Award.
Women writers living in the state are invited to submit their books for consideration for the award, given each year by the New Mexico Press Women at the annual spring conference. The 2010 conference will be held in Albuquerque, April 16-17.
The 2010 Zia Award will be given to the author of an outstanding book in fiction published in 2007, 2008 or 2009. The contest is open to novels, novellas and short story collections and to all genres.
Each year the award rotates to one of three categories: nonfiction, fiction and children’s literature. To accommodate this schedule, a book published in the last three years is eligible.
Submissions can be made by the author or by someone else on behalf of the author, such as a publisher. Membership in the association is not required, but the writer must be a woman. Authors must also live in the state or have a strong connection to New Mexico; however the book can be published anywhere. A $10 submission fee is required and helps to defray the costs of the award. Entries must be postmarked by Jan. 11, 2010.
New Mexico Press Women is an affiliate of the National Federation of Press Women and exists to provide professional development, networking and First Amendment rights protection to professional journalists and communicators.

Kersten Hamilton (Red Truck-Children's Picturebook) & Marcy Heller (Loco Dog and the Dust Bowl-Young Reader)
Red Truck
By Kersten Hamilton
The award winning RED TRUCK is the ‘youngest’ picture book Kersten Hamilton has written. It is tailor-made for little boys who love trucks and adventure. With such a short text—just 106 words—every little thing had to be perfect. Not just words, but even the sound of individual letters and letter combinations. Hamilton says the whole book was ‘sparked’ by the sound of the title words: RED TRUCK. She loved the repetition of the R’s; the almost hard D and the hard CK sounds. She liked the way it felt to say them, the way they settled in her ears. She added a vroom! and a sploosh! or two, and the fun sounds grew into a book!
Loco Dog and the Dust Devil in the Railyard
by Marcy Heller and illustrated by Nancy Poes
Once upon a time, in a small, dusty Southwestern town, in the middle of the busy railyard, there lived a large, black dog. His name was Loco, short for Locomotive.
The railyard was always gritty, and sometimes dust devils swirled through. One wild and windy spring evening, a huge, powerful dust devil forever changed the lives of everyone who loved the railyard and its big, black dog.

In his June presentation to SWW, internationally accredited speaker and facilitator Ron Chapman (a former long-time Albuquerque resident and radio host at KUNM-FM), explored writer's inner obstructions to success. Now in "The Write Answers" he'll offer his unique expertise in a facilitated trouble shooting session that not only provides information on the challenges writers' face both in the writing process and in the publishing industry, but provides interactive opportunities for each participant to tackle their personal barriers to success.
Participants should bring several questions about what they perceive to be obstacles or their "stuckness," and explore what they perceive as a limitation or obstacle and Ron will help you see the opportunity within. From his own journey as a writer and author (and through the scores of interviews he conducted with New York Times best-selling and emerging local authors on KUNM-FM) and by working with small presses and trying to get name and book recognition, Ron knows where you've been and how to move beyond limited thinking.
An internationally recognized and accredited speaker and consultant, Ron Chapman nurtures creative thought and action while facilitating personal and professional growth and organization and leadership development, assisting clients in deepening their awareness, changing their perceptions, and cultivating insight and understanding to allow any challenge or problem to be overcome. A self-described full-time, all-time student of human, organizational, and cultural dynamics, Chapman, through his company, Magnetic North LLC, travels throughout the United States, Europe and recently, Zimbabwe, Africa, delivering powerful keynote addresses and conducting Seeing True seminars and workshops. Author of Seeing True: Ninety Contemplations in Ninety Days, What a Wonderful World and the Seeing True series of audio discs "The Way of Success in Leadership and "The Way of Spirit," Chapman is also a national award-winning social radio commentator.
