2012 NEW MEXICO/ARIZONA BOOK AWARDS FINALIST In 1911, New Mexico found itself at the center of a vicious international conspiracy that threatened its proposed statehood. The unjust commitment of a woman to an insane asylum reveals a plot to nd a missing document, Article X of the Treaty of Mesilla—the Revert Document. Tensions rise as two nations position for legal control over the territory, and soon the United States and Mexico are on a collision course toward war. If the document emerges before Arizona and New Mexico can attain statehood, Mexico could legally recover those lost territories—thereby changing history. On a more human scale, the sibling rivalry between two sisters descends into criminal behavior, with murder and mayhem and traitorous extremes. Adobe Centori, a hero of the Spanish-American War, arrives in New Mexico and becomes a statehood delegate. Aairs of the heart complicate aairs of state as women representing a range of political views compound Centori’s challenges. His strongest opponent is Gabriella Zena—La Guerillera. They share true love but not the same side of the border as champions for New Mexico and Old Mexico. History is made by people, for people, and Statehood of Affairs invites readers into the lives and struggles of these heroes—and villains—of the American Southwest’s early days.

World War I New Mexico

By: Daniel R. Cillis PhD

In 1917, five years after New Mexico received its statehood, the United States entered World War I. With border tensions festering between Mexico and the United States, Germany attempted unsuccessfully to secure Mexico's allegiance with its Zimmermann Telegram. More than sixteen thousand New Mexicans joined the military, while civilians supported from the home front. Groups like the Knights of Columbus, YMCA and the Salvation Army, as well as Governor W.E. Lindsey's New Mexico Council of Defense, raised military funding. Author Daniel R. Cillis recounts the Land of Enchantment's influence on World War I from its beginning through to the 1918 Armistice.

Adobe Centori and the Silver Medallion

Statehood of Affairs Series

By: Daniel R. Cillis PhD

It is 1916 as Adobe Centori, owner of the Circle C Ranch in New Mexico, sits atop his horse next to ranch foreman Francisco Griego. While the mounted cowboys prepare for the spring roundup, Centori wonders about Mad Mady Blaylock. She is gone. Mad Mady silently slipped away from the Circle C during the night. A message from General Pershing arrives. He offers Centori a commission to join the pursuit of Pancho Villa into Mexico. While considering the offer, Centori learns about a treasure relating to the legendary Seven Cities of Cibola from pueblo leader Justo Calabaza. Sixteenth-century Spaniards believed that cities of gold were located in the New Mexico pueblos. The treasure tales were not proven. Yet Calabaza insists that one lost city of gold is buried within the Circle C boundaries. Centori shuns his skepticism and, with Griego and Calabaza, embarks on a scientific search for the Silver Medallion—the key to finding the gold. Carlene Cortina, a beautiful barnstorming pilot, wings Centori through the skies to help find the hidden entrance to the lost city. Intrigue develops as Santa Fe Sharon joins Carmencita, one of Mad Mady’s doves, to locate the mine. Sharon wants more than gold—she wants revenge. The story ensues while Europe engages in a massive war. Adobe Centori’s destiny reaches beyond Cibola as the Great War rages in France.
