Steven F. Havill
by Editor • New Mexico Magazine
Apr 2, 2009
Born in upstate New York and now based in Ratón, novelist Steven F. Havill has written 15 mystery novels set in the fictional New Mexico county of Posadas. His first series followed Sheriff Bill Gastner’s exploits in real time. Soon, Gastner’s sidekick, the resolute under-sheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman, earned her own series. In the latest entry in the Posadas County series, The Fourth Time Is Murder (St. Martin’s Minotaur, 2008), Reyes-Guzman investigates a car accident involving a stranger who has mysteriously disappeared. Now, Wolf Schneider uncovers just where Posadas County would be, if it existed.

by Susanna Carlisle • THE magazine
Nov 1, 2006
IN a war-torn, Orwellian world going mad, a world where globalization and corporate greed are putting the earth and its inhabitants in dire peril, when we are approaching what may be our darkest hour and plummeting towards despair with no moral ground under our feet, there is a beacon in the darkness. And that light comes from the Lannan Foundation. Since this family foundation relocated to Santa Fe in 1997, we have witnessed its visionary work throughout our community and the world. The foundation, under the creative leadership of Patrick Lannan, is making a difference—passionately and diligently working for positive change, perpetuating and strengthening cultural freedom (defined...

Literary Arts in Santa Fe, NM
Santa Fe is a small town, but large in its embrace of the arts, and its many cultural attractions. Perhaps best known as a center for visual art, Santa Fe offers a huge variety of performing arts as well. Music, dance and theater all play a vital role in the life of Santa Fe. In addition, many of the country’s most creative writers call Santa Fe their primary home.
The Santa Fe Opera is a unique venue that attracts both an international audience and international performers. This year’s season, which runs from July 3rd through August 29th includes performances of La Traviata, Don Giovanni, The Elixir of Love, Alceste, and The Letter. Located just north of the city, the Santa Fe Opera is an open air celebration, and tickets usually sell out well in advance of performances. The “tailgate” parties that are held in the parking areas of the Opera complex prior to performances are not to be missed.
The Lensic Performing Arts Center in downtown Santa Fe produces theatrical, dance and musical events, as well as performances of the spoken word. When the Santa Fe Opera is not in season, the Lensic provides large screen digital projection and sound from the Metropolitan Opera. This incredible facility was built in 1931 and attracted performers such as Rita Hayworth, Roy Rogers, Judy Garland and Yehudi Menuhin. A completely remodeled and updated Lensic opened in April 2001 with state of the art audio and video systems, while still preserving the historic nature of one of Santa Fe’s most important facilities.
The annual Santa Fe Film Festival is held in December and attracts new works from directors and producers all over the world. Smaller venues for the performing arts abound in Santa Fe, ranging from large halls to coffee shops and bistros. In the performing arts, there’s always something new happening in Santa Fe.
