The Santa Fe River in Santa Fe, New Mexico was named Most Endangered River in America in 2007. This richly illustrated collection is a literary response to that designation, a work that “re-stories” the river, bringing it back to life in the hearts and minds of the Santa Fe community. It’s no secret that the river—a dry wasteland for most of the year—is imperiled. Less well known is the real story of the Santa Fe River, its remarkable history, and how it can be saved. The Return of the River includes the words of writers and poets, historians, artists, and ecologists who eloquently and passionately celebrate a living river. The result is a convergence of landscape, community, and creativity that recognizes the interdependence of all three. In a time when the planet faces unparalleled threats, The Return of the River is a testament to the belief that the most damaged places can be healed, and that ordinary voices can be the agent of that change. The book includes a foreword by David Coss, Mayor of Santa Fe at the time of the publication of this book, and contributions from Jack Loeffler, Valerie Martínez, Frances Levine, Arthur Sze, Luci Tapahonso, Miriam Sagan, Fernando Garavito, Melinda Romero Pike, George Johnson, David Groenfeldt, and twenty-four others.

A Wyoming fishing guide must return to his investigative roots to find his best friend’s girlfriend in this “nonstop adventure and suspenseful page-turner that leaves the reader breathless” (Library Journal, starred review). High season is coming to an end when Jake Trent, “a fishing guide with a shadowy past, is lured into an explosive situation” (Kirkus Reviews). As the ex-lawyer ponders rekindling his romance with park ranger Noelle Kimpton, a surprise call from a long-lost love throws his life into disarray. It’s been years since Jake last saw Divya Navaysam at their law school graduation. Now a DC lobbyist, Divya wants Jake to come to Washington for a consulting job. He books a ticket, wondering what she is keeping from him. Meanwhile, back in Jackson, Jake’s best friend and occasional employee, J.P., is nursing his own romantic wounds. J.P. has fallen head over heels for Esma, but after a perfect summer together, she has returned to her native Mexico—and before long she drops off the grid completely. Has something terrible happened to her? When local police offer little help, a distraught J.P. turns to Jake. Jake must find Esma and manage a heated relationship with his ex-flame in order to solve the crisis. David Riley Bertch’s second installment in the Jake Trent series is a rollicking thriller—with a twisting plotline involving immigration, overpopulation, dirty politicians, and international intrigue. This wide-ranging novel is a “vivid…breezy read” (Associated Press) with “a cast of characters to rival any political crime drama on television today” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
