The Santa Fe Reporter readers pick The Way of the Bear as the best book by Anne Hillerman!

From the Santa Fe Reporter: 

​I am thrilled that The Santa Fe Reporter readers picked The Way of the Bear as the best book by a Santa Fe author. I love that book, too!

Santa Fe has long been a nurturing place for writers, and has become even more so in the decades in which I’ve lived here. The creative writing programs at the Institute of American Indian Arts, the classes in poetry, fiction and more at Santa Fe Community College, the encouragement and support high school writers receive at the New Mexico School for the Arts, the stimulation provided by the Santa Fe International Literary Festival and the camaraderie offered by NMWriters.org and the long-established New Mexico Book Association—what a wealth of acknowledgement that stories matter! On top of that, our wonderful bookstores and public libraries give writers and readers more encouragement.

I am enormously grateful to have my book acknowledged and even happier to be part of such a supportive and generous community.

Anne Hillerman Santa Fe
