Colorado author Sandi Ault announces the release of WILD SORROW, the third book in the WILD Mystery Series on March 3 and has an extensive tour in the Front Range area planned in March. Ms Ault has been called the heir apparent to Tony Hillerman. No one but Ms. Ault writes about the Southwest with such rich, filmic description, or brings to life its wild beauty and native cultures with such depth and clarity.
WILD SORROW continues the adventures of the series' rough and ready heroine, a BLM resource protection agent named Jamaica Wild. The story opens with a dramatic scene as Jamaica, on horseback, and her wolf, Mountain, track a wounded mountain lion in a blinding snowstorm. Forced to take shelter from the storm, she and Mountain, the abandoned wolf she is raising (who is as much a central character in the WILD novels as Jamaica), stumble on the desecrated body of a former school matron at an abandoned Indian school. The woman was remembered for beating and humiliating the Indian children, and the FBI quickly assumes they have a revenge killing on their hands. Jamaica isn't so sure, and chilling stories from her Tanoah Pueblo friends about their boarding school experiences pique her curiosity. As Jamaica works to find and save the wounded mountain lion and her cubs, the killer thinks she knows all. Stalked, threatened, and attacked, Wild and her wolf narrowly escape repeated attempts on their lives as Jamaica races to solve the mystery.
Ault's debut, WILD INDIGO, won the Mary Higgins Clark Award in 2008, the first debut novel nominated for that award. WILD INDIGO garnered critical acclaim in the national media, including the New York Times: "[A] striking debut...Scenes of the high, dry, glittering landscape are as clean as sun-bleached bone, and there are thrills galore."
Ms. Ault's sophomore outing, WILD INFERNO, was named one of the Best Books of 2008 by Publishers Weekly and Library Journal and was the only mystery to make both lists. Both novels won starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal, who said of Ault's work: "Reviewers and readers will draw parallels between Ault's enlightening, well-researched debut and the mysteries of Tony Hillerman, Nevada Barr, and Aimee and David Thurlo; this is fine because she is that good." WILD SORROW also just received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.
Ms. Ault speaks fluently on the subjects of wolves, Native American culture, the Southwest, petroglyphs, and wildlife preservation. I am currently scheduling interviews for her book tour, so please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in booking a time. Complete press kits are available upon request.
P. S. Her Colorado tour dates are as follows:
March 3 Tattered Cover, Denver, CO 7:30PM
March 4 The Reader's Cove, Fort Collins, CO 5PM
March 18 Murder by the Book, Denver, CO 5:30PM
March 19 Borders Books & Music, Boulder, CO 7PM
March 21 MacDonald Bookshop at the Estes Park Library, Estes Park, CO 3PM

News from Wordharvest
Greetings!
As we prepare for our summer writing workshops, we wanted to share some good news.
One of our presenters, Sandi Ault, received a huge honor for her book Wild Indigo
Craig Johnson, who will join us in November for the Hillerman Mystery Conference, earned a cover story in Publishers Weekly and a starred review.
Also, July 1 is the deadline to submit a manuscript for the $10,0000 Hillerman Prize for first mystery. Please share this information with your writer friends.
Wild Indigo gets special Edgar
Author Sandi Ault to teach in Santa Fe and at
The Tony Hillerman Writers Conference
Sandi Ault's Wild Indigo received the Mystery Writers of America's Mary Higgins Clark Award, a special Edgar. This award sponsored by publisher Simon & Schuster is given to the book most closely written in the Mary Higgins Clark tradition. Wild Indigo received critical acclaim from media, other authors (including Tony Hillerman and C.J. Box) and fans. The novel appeared on nine bestseller lists and sold out of its first printing in less than seven days.
Sandi will teach Make it a Grand First Grand: The First 1,000 Words on Aug. 9 and will offer a pre-conference workshop on editing November 5 at the Tony Hillerman Writers Conference. Other summer workshops include screenplays, travel writing, writing for kids, and research-based prose with award-winning author Sharman Apt Russell.
Praise for Craig Johnson's new mystery
Another Man's Moccassins, Craig Johnson's fourth mystery, won a place on the cover and glowing praise from Publishers Weekly. The magazine called the book, which features Wyoming sheriff Walt Longmire, "stellar," "full of crackling dialogue," and an "absorbing tale." Johnson, currently on a multi-city book tour, will join us in November at the Tony Hillerman Writers Conference: Focus on Mystery, where he'll share tips for writing that much-praised dialog and participate in other conference events.
