Sounds wonderful! And I am just finishing The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich, who won a Pulitzer for it, I would highly recommend!

Thanks for this. Sounds wonderful. AND for some moregood news....had dinner last night with my nephew who got your 4 books for Christmas from me. He has read them all and loved them! I asked for a review to convey.....he appreciated greatly your personalizing the different battles by going more deeply into the lives of the people who were there. His only frustrations were the few times you mentioned a great photo but it was not there in the book. He thought maybe copyright issues?? Overall, you got high ratings from a discerning young nuclear engineer!!

Tony Hillerman is Amazing!! Thrilled screenwriting will be written by Navajos. Thank you for this scoop TC!

This is beyond "good" news - it is GREAT news! I got hooked on Hillerman years ago...his books are story-rich, culture-rich and complex - all of which make a deep dive into Navajo land a true delight.

Thank you! I’ve read all of Hillerman’s books and loved each one. I will definitely be watching the episodes on tv. Hope they measure up to the original stories.

If this world was flat I'd still be out on the edge at tomorrow's first sunrise, so thanks TC, for expanding my kindle list. Good timing, the winds have turned to come north from Antarctica and now I can look forward to some new reads as winter arrives.
