    Praise
    for C.M. Mayo's Miraculous Air:

    "With elegant
    prose and an artist's eye for detail, Mayo 

    may just have written one of the best books ever 

    about Baja California. Highly recommended"

    Library
    Journal



    "Ay,
    if only I had been at C.M. Mayo's side in her rendezvous through


    Baja California... My recourse is her joyful, intellectually
    sparkling chronicle"

    Ilan
    Stavans,

    author of The Hispanic Condition

    Praise
    for C.M. Mayo's Sky Over El Nido: 

    "some of the
    most exquisitely fashioned, perfectly 

    measured prose alive in the world today." 

    Naomi
    Shihab Nye



    "The
    haywire circuits of our whole electrically but not ethically

    connected global village stand exposed in Mayo's work. 

    Sky Over El Nido won the 1995 Flannery O'Connor Award
    for 

    Short Fiction. I am not suprised."

    David
    Toolan, S.J., Commonweal

    Margaret
