GOETHE 2023 LATE HISTORICAL FICTION AWARD SEMI-FINALIST
A New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards Finalist
It's August 3, 1837, and rebellion has broken out in northern New Mexico. By the end of the week, Governor Albino Pérez and key members of his administration will be dead, and a governor with indigenous ancestry will be installed in Santa Fe.
Trouble's been brewing for over a year, fed by new laws restricting the right to vote, the threat of taxes, and a governor who's quicker to borrow money than distribute it. On top of that, he's jailed the Santa Cruz de la Cañada alcalde for making a decision he didn't like. The locals free the mayor and go to war, campesinos and Pueblo warriors against the ricos.
But the rich aren't about to give up their privileges so easily. More people will die before the violence ends.
A deeply-researched biographical novel with implications for today, There Will be Consequences explores the events before, during, and after August 1837 through the eyes of people who were there. Twelve linked stories propel the narrative forward from the perspective of individuals as diverse as Albino Pérez, rebel governor José Angel Gonzales, Santa Fe gambler Gertrudes "Doña Tules" Barceló, Taos priest Antonio José Martinez, and that most wily of New Mexico's politicians, Manuel Armijo.
