About me

I'm Garrett. I am an author, historian, and tour guide in Santa Fe. My mom made me read "Death Comes for the Archbishop" in 1998, and I was hooked on New Mexico. Cather called it her "best book." My own book, "The Bright Edges of the World: Willa Cather and Her Archbishop," will be published in February 2026, and I included her letters, articles, and interviews, as well as field research of her travels to New Mexico. It's a treasure hunt into Cather's writing process and creativity.
