Anne, I agree, Santa Fe is one of my all time favorite place. My son and I used to visit at least once every summer when I lived in Colorado. Hopefully I can get back there one of these days.

No, not a seaside town, just a truly beautiful place filled with great people and lots of history.
Hi everyone and a warm welcome to the newcomers.
Hi everyone,I'm Malcolm from Sydney, Australia, a wonderful city. I love to read murder mysteries, I have read all the known to me authors and have just found Edward Marston and love it.
Oh and now through this website a lady called Patricia Wentworth. Looks like I have plenty to keep me amused on my train journeys to and from work for a little while.
Hi to everyone
Anne lives in Santa Fe, I was just a frequent visitor.I will tell you about the staircase at the Loretto Chapel of Our Lady of Light. When the Chapel was built the contractor forgot to include a stairway to the choir loft. There was no room to put in a conventional staircase and no one could figure how to get the choir up there except by a ladder. The nuns prayed to Saint Joseph for nine days (a novena). On the last day a gray-haired gentleman arrived with his donkey and tool chest and asked if he could help. After 8 months he disappeared leaving behind the most beautiful staircase ever. It is circular with 2 complete 360 degree turns, no support pole, supposedly put together with 2 wooden pegs and no nails. I will post a picture.

Well to begin Santa Fe is over 400 years old. We live at about 7000 ft which is significantly higher than Denver. Our topography is high pinon and juniper forest just below towering forested snow peaks.
We have 9 Native American pueblos within 1 1/2 of the plaza. Our homes are low pueblo or territorial style that blends into the rolling hills.
There are some great books on Sanrta Fe - if anyone's interested I'll post them on a list.
Hello everybody... I think I haven't posted here before.I live in Mexico City, work as a free lance TV and event producer and love to read almost anything. My favorites are of course, mysteries. Right now I'm reading Henning Mankell (Inspector Wallander) and a Kate Atkinson book.
My favorite authors are PD James, Ruth Rendell, Elizabeth George, Sue Grafton, Sophie Hannah, Tana French... Just realized they're all women!

Hi Jenni! I do start with Book 1, mostly because I want to know all about the characters, and I like to see how the author develops them book to book, but I know most series can be read in any order. I'm just starting with Inspector Wallander, though.
hi all,I am mainly a crime thriller reader from 1066 country.
My fave authors are Tony Black, Simon Kernick, Matt Hilton amongst many others
Great to meet you all

Hello all, My name is Dan. I am a recently displaced New Yorker, now residing in Wilmington, Delaware. I am a voracious reader, focusing primarily on mystery/crime novels with a lot of fantasy, historical fiction and the occasional horror novel thrown in. It would take a while to list all the authors I read but at the moment I am working my way thru the Travis McGee novels by John MacDonald, the Commisario Brunetti novels of Donna Leon and George Pelecano's novels, amongst others. Nice to meet you all!
After a 2 year long distance relationship I moved to Delaware to be with my girlfriend, who is also a reader. I miss New York not at all.
Hi! My name is Yuliya. I'm living in Chicago, but originally I'm from Russia, St. Petersburg. I am from circus family and traveled a lot with my parents. And read a lot during all long travels from city to city. I’m Performer myself and traveled around the world with my magic show. I have had so many interesting people to meet, and experience to have, and things to see, that maybe I will write the book about all that one time. I’m working as biochemist right now, but still performing time from time and my 10y daughter starting performing right now too. I love to read a lot from early childhood (started to read at 3y) . I’m reading even in bathroom then I’m brushing my teeth. I’m listening audio books during all work day then it’s possible. I like mysteries and crime. My last favorites book that I read in this area are: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, Defending Jacob by William Landay and In the Woods by Tana FrenchIn classic I love Daphne du Maurier
Thank you for inviting me ini group
Hi Yulia, I agree with Jenni, you are a very interesting multi talented person. Welcome to the group. I look forward to hearing your recommendations.
Hi Dan, I seemed to have missed you, welcome to the group. I've heard of those authors, so I'll have to check them out.
Hello everyone! I'm Lisa and I was invited to the group by Ashton. I have been a lurker for the past few weeks, but I decided that I should take the plunge and actually write something. I live in Colorado and will pretty much read anything.

Hello to the other newbies:) & thanks for the welcome here. Looking forward to getting to know everyone & hoping to get lots of new suggestions for books! I love mysteries/thrillers. I've just started re-reading the Odd Thomas books by Dean Koontz. I read the first few years ago & now that there are 6 ? I think, I wanted to start all over & read them all. I just finished all of Gillian Flynn's & loved them all!
Hey there! I'm a new member and just wanted to let everyone know that I just put my first ebook up. It's a thriller. The first "episode" in a series. I would love some feedback!
Welcome to the group, Gary! I imagine your days in the er werepretty tense, so unwinding with a good book was just the ticket. So wonderful that you are sharing your knowledge with students and inspiring others during your retirement. Looking forward to discussing books with you.Dana, teaching 7th grade language arts has to be the most instense job! Horomones on the rise! LOL (research shows that only air traffic controllers make more decisions in a day than teachers!)
So glad you are here at MCT where we are very laid-back and easy going. Looking forward to getting to know you better.
Colleen, welcome to the group! We are thrilled to have you.
Welcome, Yulia! I love Russian literature, too. I look forward to discussing books with you.
Hi, Lisa! So happy to welcome you to the group! We are thrilled to have you as a member! : )

I'm Anne from Santa Fe NM; one of the most beautiful places on earth. I love to read mystery series. Anything from Ted Bell to Stuart Woods and everything in between. I use Audible, Kindle and hardcover so generally have 3-5 books going at a time. That can get confusing! Right now I'm listening to In The Woods, and reading Paris Wife (not a mystery!) The Emporer's Tomb and Rhe President's Club. Hi to everyone!
