The Posadas County mysteries are very popular in Datil, an even smaller town in Southwestern New Mexico.
The next title in the Posadas series is “Double Prey”, to be released in January, 2011. “Race For the Dying”, a historical medical novel was released by St. Michael’s Press in 2009. It will be followed by a sequel, “Comes A Time For Burning”, scheduled for release in February, 2011.

Havill was raised in New York’s Finger Lakes region and moved to New Mexico in 1965. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of New Mexico. In 2005 he received an associate’s degree in Gunsmithing. He now lives in Raton with his wife of 41 years, Kathleen.
