I am headed out on my trip today. I will drive up and down the US/Mexico border to research some of the places that appear in the new Haxan novel. As I drive and sight see I am also going to write, write, write.
You can follow the progress of my trip on Twitter, assuming I have cell service in some of these places. My first stop is Laredo tonight. Then I plan on going to the McDonald Observatory and camping around up there. From then on I play it by ear, but some of the places I plan to stopping by are Mesilla, Yuma, and maybe Tombstone although the last will be for purely tourist reasons.
I don’t know if I will turn north toward Pueblo or not. Like I said I will play this one mostly by ear. I have no set itinerary. I’m going camping and writing and working on the new novel. That’s the plan.

Mark,
Did you ever receive my email concerning Best of Frontier Tales Anthology? I need to be sure I have a valid email address for you.
BTW, I envy your research expedition! Have fun!
Yes, I got the email. It’s exciting news! I’ll post about it on my WP blog later this week. I’m woefully behind on a lot of writing things.
Great to catch up with you again, KM! I just now this is going to be a most productive and inspiring trip for you. I will definitely try to follow on twitter. I love the areas you will be traveling through, especially in May! Lucky you!
thanks!
