THE ANGLO is the stirring story of loss and renewal, deeply rooted in the windswept landscape of the High Desert Mesa of Northern New Mexico. A random act of violence has a rippling effect on a family and a community. http: //jomoorefiction.com "When I set out to write THE ANGLO, my intention was to create a story of the effects of random injustice. The two dominant characters, who are certainly flawed, but certainly not depraved, and whose only real sin was that they loved each other (too much), become witnesses---witnesses to events that would change their lives forever. Events from which it would be impossible to recover. But in the end, when the circle is complete, redemption is inevitable."

Set in the shadow of Taos Mountain, ADOBE DREAMS is the politically charged tale that explores the validity of war, the destruction of our planet, the omnipotence of love. A story of coming of age in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. http: //jomoorefiction.com "The significant metaphor this novel addresses is the domestic collateral damages wars create stateside--domestic carnage to families who lose loved ones, who will be forever waiting for their loved ones to return. Loved ones who never return from war, or if they do, they are forever changed. Not just soldiers die in war. A mother becomes lost, irretrievable after the loss of her loved one in the Vietnam War. With a son to raise as a single parent, she never recovers. These are the numbers that are never counted among victims of war. They are just as significant. My intention was to write a serious story that brings awareness, compassion to their plight, to draw a straight line between the Gulf of Tonkin and Taos, NM"

From the author of ADOBE DREAMS and THE ANGLO, a short story collection from and of the Southwest. Fourteen stories, homegrown and handspun, in the fragile ecology of the desert mountains of the great Southwest. Rich in characters and rooted in the earth. http: //jomoorefiction.com "I wrote these stories over the span of thirty years---living on the land, in the mountains, with the Old Timer homesteaders as my mentors and guides. They taught me how to garden, how to raise bees, what to feed my horse, how to peel a viga, and how to live in silence. They showed me by example what was important, and what was not. They are all gone now, and I am nearly one of the next generation of Old Timers here in the mountains. They bequeathed to me their legacy of respect for our Mother Earth and the clear blue skies above."

Not the usual stories, not the usual storyteller, OTHER OBSESSIONS is a collection of 21 stories rife with characters caught in the vortex of human obsession. From the author of ADOBE DREAMS, THE ANGLO and TURQUOISE AND OBSIDIAN. Literary fiction, Short Stories http: //jomoorefiction.com "Everybody's got an agenda. And the characters in OTHER OBSESSIONS surely do. My intention was to explore the strange and bizarre internal thought patterns that come to possess us as human beings. No matter where we live, no matter our socio-economic status, human nature lends itself to obsession."

Nestled in a sub-tropical garden overlooking the River Dart, Greenway has an exceptional and enviable location. It certainly caught the eye of Agatha Christie, who knew the area as a child and, having made her name as a world-famous crime-writer, made it her holiday home.
