    Sedona AZ (May 8, 2015) – What does it take to convince a New York Times best-selling author to come to Sedona?  In the case of Anne Hillerman, the talented daughter of best-selling author Tony Hillerman, all it took was an email request from a very satisfied reader.

    In one of those “Sedona moments,” all the pieces fell into place, and next week Anne Hillerman is coming to Sedona to promote her new book, “Rock with Wings.”  Here’s how Roene Cammack, a former resident of Sedona, initiated contact with Anne Hillerman to make this author visit to Sedona a reality.

    photo_cherylyeattsLast fall after reading Anne Hillerman’s first book, “Spider Woman’s Daughter,” Roene was so fascinated with the book that she sent an email to the author.  She shared with Anne how much she liked her style of writing and how the characters came alive for her.  She also told her that she admired Anne’s loyalty to her father’s style of writing and how much she loves the area where the stories take place. 

    Roene inquired about Anne coming to Sedona to speak during her next book tour and was pleasantly surprised when the very next day Anne graciously agreed. Special thanks to Roene Cammack for inviting Anne Hillerman to Sedona.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
