On the heels of the events detailed in RUBY LEAVING TEXAS, author David White finds himself leaving Texas and settling in the lawless, Wild West outback of Rancho Huevos, New Mexico in the early 1990s. Living between two feuding families and amid the isolated offspring of Spanish settlers in El Communidad de Tres Culturas...The Community of Three Cultures barely tolerating one another, Dave settles down to write RUBY and to find the Great Spirit and Billy the Kid. Living in an idyllic desert valley between five Indian reservations, working at the casino before they were legal, and settling in with the vestiges of ranch life in a much-subdivided dry river valley, Dave encounters la familia Los Huevos...proud descendants of los Conquistadores, La Reina de las Mujeres... the keeper of the traditions, red-mohawked artist Tommy Molino from Philly and an ever-growing pack of faithful and hungry dogs. Moving forward, Dave grasps at the elusive Great Spirit and discovers the present-day reality of Billy the Kid during a high-noon showdown with aggressive neighbor Ricardo Cabeza backed up by the heroin cowboys on a thrill ride from Plains, NM. Throughout the never-ending trials and tribulations of living in Rancho Huevos, Dave sees through the façade of the anger and aggression, the cultural desperation, and transcending layers of time, discovers the deeply-kept secrets that reveal how things have fallen apart since the days of colonial New Mexico. PARADISE HELL is written to reveal what can only be learned with one's ear to the ground, waiting slowly and patiently, like waiting for the Deer Dancers who slowly, following the drumbeat, come down the desert hill at dawn in the middle of winter. PARADISE HELL encompasses aspects of the many people who have lived in or moved to the Paradise in the high desert and may have found Hell instead. It picks up where RUBY leaves off and with the wings of the Hawk, flies into uncharted territory for all to read.
