Second Saturday: Anne Hillerman

When

Where

Description

In many of her award-winning novels, Anne Hillerman includes references to the history, landscape, and cultures of the Southwest. The interplay of non-fiction information with the “who done it and why” aspect of the mystery genre gives her Leaphorn/Chee/Manuelito novels a texture that is distinctively hers. Join Hillerman for a talk about how her research into the tragedy of the Navajo’s Long Walk, the mysteries of Chaco Canyon, and other elements of New Mexico’s history have enriched her books, s well as how her own family history inspires her work.

Anne Hillerman grew up in Santa Fe, surrounded by stories of New Mexico’s people, places, and history. After many years as a journalist, editing and reporting for numerous publications including the Santa Fe New Mexican and the Albuquerque Journal, Anne began writing fiction. Her newest book, Shadow of the Solstice, was released in the spring of 2025.

Second Saturdays are free, open house events, where guests can learn about the historic house and its collection, and hear a lecture. Please note that seating for lectures is limited to 65 guests so arrive early to secure your spot.
