Amador鈥檚 stories 鈥渁re based on her own life experiences, though they are often intimately familiar tales exploring the paradoxical ups and downs of life itself. She draws parallels between her own existence and the deceptively calm undercurrents that run through the everyday lives of human beings,鈥� said Zelda Leah Gatuskin, Amador鈥檚 editor-in-chief since 2010.
Gatuskin said Amador was born and raised in La Madera. She died in 2012.
鈥淯ndercurrents鈥� was first released by Amador Publishers in 1999.
Copies of the reprinted edition are available at local and online booksellers, Gatuskin said.

New Mexico author Antonya Nelson praised the book, writing 鈥淥 favored it, one story at a time, the way I do the masters of the genre. 鈥� Like them Pearce creates in each short story a novel鈥檚 worth of rich characterization with deft artistic impression, and like the masters of geographically linked collections - (James) Joyce and (Sherwood) Anderson - Pearce renders contemporary Chicago in loving and brutal complexity from a myriad of vivid voices.鈥�
Pearce will be in conversation with Santa Fe author Robert Wilder.
Garcia Street Bookstore is at 376 Garcia St. in Santa Fe.
