This collection of short stories was put together from the winning entries received for the Houston Writers Guild Outside the Window - Tales of the World contest. The world is our backyard, and adventures are a window away. Delight in the unique perspective of these stories, in which the authors have crafted their vision by looking outside the window of their experience and creativity to bring us their tales of the world. Andrea Barbosa, HWG Press Director

New Mexico s rich and varied history is easily accessible via detours down obscure backroads and overlooked off-ramps. By taking the road less traveled in any direction, visitors can experience ancient landmarks, cultural heritage sites and striking vistas. Stop at places along the old Route 66, sample the world s best chiles by the Rio Grande or soak in geothermal water flowing under Truth or Consequences. Ancient dwellings in remote canyons, the town where the first atomic bomb was secretly assembled and the grave of Billy the Kid all lie off the beaten path in the Land of Enchantment. Authors Arthur and David Pike map out these and many more worthwhile points of interest for the curious traveler."
