John Hamilton Farr lives in Taos. His latest book is The Helen Chronicles. He and his wife moved to el Norte from Maryland sixteen years ago. Read Buffalo Lights and Taos Soul to learn how it went.

John’s Air Force family moved over forty times before he graduated from high school. He’s lived in Maryland, D.C., Virginia, Germany, Texas, New York, Arkansas, and New Mexico, not exactly in that order and sometimes more than once. He went to high school in three states and earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees from U.T. Austin. At one time or another he’s been a sculptor, painter, teacher, office manager, groundskeeper, cartoonist, online news editor, Web designer, and rock and roll songwriter. A few years ago, he played rhythm guitar for Los Changos del Mar, “New Mexico’s only extraterrestrial, psycho-surf-punk, spy-billy, harem conjunto.”
