Being Home, Too

Being Home, Too, the much-anticipated sequel to Claussen's debut short story collection Being Home: A southwestern Almanac, delivers several humorous made-for-radio stories. Painting a panorama of high desert living with zany characters riding out the seasons in the Mimbres Valley, this book will not disappoint. From Jimmy Dean's January polar plunge to Ratticus Finch's Christmas hoard, Claussen renders the magic and mystery of the Valley in a series of delightful vignettes. Complimented by photography making you feel as if you have been cast into the story with the characters themselves; not your typical coffee-table book, but one to add to your collection.
