Thanksgiving Fiction

November 28, 2013

By V.B. Price

In wishing you a peaceful weekend after the busy joys of Thanksgiving, we offer two short stories for your leisurely reading. Baker Morrow writes of the dry landscape and dry humor of southern New Mexico in stories from McKelligon Canyon. And Ed Merta gives fictional energy to climate change politics in New Mexico’s future.
