5. Janet McAdams' novel Red Weather (Arizona 2012) is now available from your favorite independent bookseller. About the novel, Robert Warrior has written: "Driven with beautiful balance by stories and characters, Janet McAdams' Red Weather breathes new life into the radical legacy of the Native 1970s. In prose that recalls Joan Didion's Salvador, McAdams offers reasons to hope for rain, dawn, and even justice." janetmcadams.org
