Readings from a Novel-in Progress by Julianne Burton-Carvajal

ABOUT THE SALON

Who Was Josefa Bustos? Find out when Dr. Julianne Burton-Carvajal shares unconventional sections of Orphan Girl in Two Kingdoms, a reimagined life story (winner of a 3-year “completion award" from the Historical Society of New Mexico) at 5 PM on Thursday, March 20, at the Edwin Brooks House, 553 Canyon Road.

Historic Santa Fe Foundation invites you to this special event offering a unique glimpse into Dr. Julianne Burton-Carvajal’s creative process and the meticulous research behind her novel-in-progress. The evening will include a reading, a Q&A session, and an opportunity to meet the author in person, accompanied by light refreshments. Registration is available here.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Since completing her Ph.D. on the east coast, Julianne Burton-Carvajal has chosen to live only in places with Spanish street names: 3 years in Austin, Texas; 25 years at Santa Cruz, California, and 20 more in Monterey—with prolonged stays in Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, and Spain. A frequent visitor to Santa Fe since the 1970s, she chose to make it her permanent home in 2018, motivated in part by the desire to finish researching and writing the life story of Josefa Bustos closer to the source.
