filed this WILD Mystery Review: High
desert mountains. High tension mystery. Woman and wolf dancing around their wild natures. Sandi
Ault brings a welcome and refreshing voice to the genre of “Southwestern Mystery”. With an insider’s
insight, Ault delivers a story that rings true whether she’s writing of the culture within federal land management,
pueblo lifestyle, or the modern-day trappings of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. If you haven’t read WILD INDIGO and WILD INFERNO yet, get caught up quick,
because you’ll want to be ready to devour Ault’s third mystery in the Jamaica Wild series when it hits the street this March.
Mary Stuever is a NM
Forester, fire information officer, and author of The Forester’s Log, published
by UNM Press, releasing March, 2009

WILD Bunch Resource Expert Frank Swancara, Jr. will be a regular reporter on the WILD Bunch Mesa, due to his expertise. Here's how he came
to join the WILD Bunch: Many months ago I came across a review of Sandi Ault's book
entitled WILD INFERNO. It looked intriguing and I went down to my local book store and purchased it,
along with its predecessor WILD INDIGO. What a wonderful discovery this was for me!
Sandi Ault
beautifully and accurately portrays the genuine essence of her characters, the Native Americans, the BLM and the Forest Service
people who manage our public lands, as well as depicting the geographic and environmental setting with exactitude and respect.
I speak as a retired Forest Service firefighter and law enforcement officer.
How I came to have such an appreciation
for Sandi Ault is that I have experienced firsthand, in the real world, so much of what she describes.
Her stories are suspenseful as mysteries ought to be, and they exhibit a reality which, for me, provides a lot of pleasure.
Having a wolf in the story is somewhat unique, and Sandi's own personal knowledge of wolves again makes her stories believable.
Many of her readers, I am sure, have special feelings for animals, both wild and domestic.
I judge Sandi's
proficiency with her story lines, not only from the standpoint of her skill as a writer, but from my own experiences in similar
situations and in the areas where her stories are set. Stay tuned for more about Frank
Swancara, Jr.'s experience and knowledge base next month on WILD Bunch Mesa
