I got home yesterday afternoon from a short visit to extreme southwestern New Mexico-speciflcally Hidalgo County, which is large and very sparsely populated, and which is the main setting for Cold Black Hearts, the horror novel that follows River Runs Red and Missing White Girl in my border trilogy.
Since most of you haven't read River Runs Red yet, you may or may not know that it takes place in El Paso, TX, and the west Texas border country. Missing White Girl (which you can still pick up, if you haven't already) takes place in Southeast Arizona's border country, in the Douglas-Bisbee area. Cold Black Hearts is meant to bridge them, setting-wise.
Which made it fun yesterday to come across this sign--literally connecting El Paso and Bisbee via a railroad built by the Phelps Dodge mining company, the town that built most of Bisbee and Douglas.
