Frommer's Santa Fe, Taos and Albuquerque

She's a freelance writer, photographer, and a contributor to New Mexico magazine-as well as an avid kayaker and skier. Formerly the managing editor for The Santa Fean, she has written about food and restaurants for the New York Times; the Anasazi culture for United Airline's Hemispheres magazine; and the environment for Audubon. She's writer and host of Written on the Wind, a TV documentary series, and is also the author of Frommer's New Mexico and Frommer's Great Outdoor Guide to Arizona & New Mexico.
