About the Author

Ernie Bulow has lived for most of the last forty years in Gallup, NM, where he resides with his wife Michelle and son Erin. During that time he has worked as a teacher, journalist, Indian trader, rare book dealer, and writer. In the Sixties, teaching at the all Navajo high school at Fort Wingate, he sponsored the Rodeo Club and produced several amateur rodeos. At the University of Utah in the early Seventies, Ernie taught the first regularly accredited college course in Native American Literature in the country. In 1972 the Navajo Tribe printed a pamphlet version of Navajo Taboos as the first publication in their cultural series. It has been in print ever since and was recently translated into Japanese. Bulow has published hundreds of articles in magazines and newspapers around the Southwest, mostly dealing with books, cowboy art and Native Americans. He has published three books about mystery writers with the University of New Mexico Press including the prize-winning collaboration with Tony Hillerman, Talking Mysteries.
