The wait is over! Our book is now available through Ingram Spark, Amazon, and a few Amazon sellers. Ten years of work in a large format - 365 pages, 8.5" x 11," made for browsing, research, and including 20 pages of source links and indexing.

Since Amazon sellers can pick their pricing and it varies, the best pricing right now is through Ingram, where we can offer it to you almost at cost: https://tinyurl.com/3jjpzv5h.

We are looking at book signings, fairs, talks, and other opportunities to sell the book direct, which we'll post here as they come up. Feel free to reach out if there is an event you'd like us to investigate appearing for.

If you like our work, ask your library, school, historical society, or favorite bookstore to acquire the title. Ingram is one of their buying channels and they get publisher discounts.

If you are a magazine, run a newsletter, do a podcast, or review books, DM us for a link to the Dropbox containing cover art and a downloadable editorial review PDF copy.

As always, thank you for the support and friendship. If you get a copy, we'd love to hear what you think!

Meanwhile, we're back to our regular programming, working on more posts coming up. This summer has not been kind weather or heat index-wise, and everything we do is on weekends as we both still work full-time jobs. We plan to do our documentary work for as long as we're able. We are both over 50 and the reality is that we will have to pass this to a younger person or people at some point...hopefully not for 20+ more years at least.

We also have another book in the works, but that won't be coming for a while. Our goal is to eventually publish all of our best research/stories, so they survive beyond the Internet. This book has and any future work will have LOC numbers, so they will be permanently archived as historical artifacts. We have to dig for much of what we share, and the hope is that future researchers won't have to.

We have some exciting news on two fronts. First, we plan to be back out on the road this weekend. The weather is nice and we've gotten all the winter projects completed, so it's time. We are generally doing photo travels from late April until about December or whenever snow starts accumulating up north (whichever comes first).

The second and bigger news: our book is nearly ready!

"Echoes Across New Mexico" has been two years in the making. It runs 360 pages (nearly two pounds of book) and brings together photographs, maps, newspaper clippings, and our original research in an 8.5 x 11" format - field manual-sized, and written to be genuinely useful for researchers, genealogists, and historians. The back matter alone runs 25+ pages of indexing and resources - the kind of detail that's too weedy for the internet but exactly what serious users need. It isn't a photo book, or a history book, or a travelogue - it's all of those. There is nothing like it currently in the New Mexico/Southwestern book market.

It will be available directly through us, through Ingram Spark (the distributor libraries and bookstores use), and on Amazon. We're publishing under our own imprint, Virguilla Press, which will also house future projects we're working on. This is the first book but it will not be the last; we have two more in progress as we speak.

Bridget is finishing the technical file work and we've just received our formal Library of Congress number, which is one of the last pieces before we can print. That number matters more to us than almost anything else about this project. It means the book will be permanently archived as a historic American artifact. That's our whole point: making sure that places and the names of ordinary people outlast the internet, held in a record that doesn't disappear.

This work belongs to more than just us. Many of you have shared family photos on these pages, and we'll be reaching out individually to confirm your permission to include them. We don't take a web post as permission enough. If allow us to use your family's images, we'll give you a copy of the book for your family to keep.

We also want to say thank you for your patience and support most of all. We both work day jobs, and this documentation project lives alongside everything else we do living regular lives. Your support and friendship over these almost nine years have meant more than we can say.

Some previews of the cover art and inside are below. We can't wait to share all of this with you!
