In Sisters, beautiful young girls from Scandinavian snows of their birth are alone, happy, delighted with some new secret and intimate complicity. David Hamilton has captured their grace in dream houses and landscapes worthy of the Impressionists. Each image demonstrates his unique photographic technique, which has earned him a reputation as the master of romantic eroticism.

Clearing Customs

In 1988, long before the Patriot Act made outrageous invasions of Americans' privacy an everyday occurrence, Albuquerque importer Beverly Parmentier finds herself under surveillance. Is her Latin American folk art import business, a one-person foreign aid program, truly suspicious? Or does this feisty female provide a handy excuse for arrogant customs agents to have some federally-funded fun at taxpayer expense? Clearing Customs is a fast-paced, wild ride across borders, with Beverly and her pals creatively confounding the twisted agendas of thugs in high places.
 ". . . anybody who loves [Carl] Hiaasen will have a ball reading Egan's fast-paced, chile-flavored, and always entertaining mystery."--Bob Shacochis, author of Easy in the Islands and The Next New World

Coyota

Nena Herrera-Casey is the coyota, the youngest, in her large Mexican-American family. Her life in Albuquerque seems placid enough, teaching Spanish part time at UNM and selling crafts from south of the border at the flea market. But she becomes unwittingly entangled in a mysterious "accident," a fiery plane crash that kills a former student. As her life unravels, rogue DEA agents conspire to set her up on bogus drug charges. And her worst nightmare stalks her through the Mexican desert.
 Coyota is the consummate Southwestern novel. . . . Egan tells her story with the sure hand of a writer who knows both sides of the peso."--Sara Voorhees, author of The Lumière Affair: A Novel of Cannes
 "It is apparent that author Martha Egan, who is an importer herself, is very familiar with Mexico and its culture and the Hispanic culture of the Southwest, of which she writes without sentimentality or clichés. Coyota is highly recommended for its vividness and well-crafted plot."--La Herencia

Martha Egan's collection of seven short stories transcends the limits of regionalism. In "Carnales," a grudge lasting generations ends with a standoff in a village cemetery. The unruly dog in "Mutt" helps a young silversmith learn to stand her ground. In "Time Circles" a trip to a ceremonial in Navajo Country encourages a woman to open both a new business and her heart. The veterinarian in "Guapo" rescues a dog that changes her life forever. A pair of newly arrived hippies learn to play by New Mexico's rules in "La Ranfla." A broken down MGB strands a college boy in a border town in "Granny," where local life proves to be unexpectedly seductive.
 "In La Ranfla, Martha Egan captures the quirkiness of Northern New Mexico in a series of colorfully drawn short stories rich with wonderfully authentic characters. It's a fine, fine ride."--Anne Hillerman, author of Santa Fe Flavors and Hillerman's Landscape: On the Road with an American Legend
