K. M. Huber grew up in the Pacific Northwest climbing trees, wandering in the mountains, wondering about the world, and writing poems. Unforeseen winds carried her to a new life in New York City, chance introduced her to her future husband, and before long another wind blew them together to the stark desert coast of his homeland, Peru. There, she fell under the enchantment of mystical inland Andean peaks, magical valleys, timeless tales and colorful traditions. She currently resides in Maryville, Tennessee with her husband and dog, still zooms with her Lima writer’s group, and enjoys being close to mountains again.
""This book is so rich! The story is so compelling I couldn't put it down. I loved the visceral sensation of movement in the words, felt myself floating, swooping, transforming, transmuting as I read them!""--Bonnie Glass-Coffin, author of The Gift of Life: Female Spirituality and Healing in Northern Peru ""The Nasca pampa is one of the enduring mysteries of the world. We have many tantalizing but fragmentary insights into the people who inhabited this arid landscape almost two thousand years ago. Huber's story brings those fragments to life with extraordinary vividness. A must read!""--Clive Ruggles, author of Ancient Astronomy: an Encyclopaedia of Cosmologies and Myth and of Stonehenge: Sighting the Sun ""Huber's writing is as vivid as it is full of magic. I loved it.""--Claire Cameron author of The Last Neanderthal
