MEXICO, Painted Mask
Mexico, Painted Mask, wrote itself. The plan was to write a book like the first two, built around travel with history added. The book had a mind of its own. What you see is what resulted from this hijacking. The Politically Correct will not be amused.

There Are No U-Hauls Behind Hearses
I will work on There Are No U-Hauls Behind Hearses© with fourth-generation undertaker James Buford Ashcraft IV.
Buck Ashcraft has a lifetime collection of funeral stories... some funny... some sad... some weird... some macbre... all interesting.
Buck is an avid hunter. We may include a few South Texas deer and rattlesnake stories. South Texas rattlesnakes get big.
Someone needs to nag me about Puro San Antonio, my stalled black & white photography project.
I bought a 1942/43 Rolleiflex twin-lens medium-format camera with an early coated Tessar lens for this classic black & white series.
I will preserve images of disappearing Old San Antonio.
Someone needs to nag me as well about my unwritten hospital ghosts book. Every hospital has a ghost. If you have a hospital ghost story, please do forward. My email address is at the bottom left of this page. Scroll down.

About the Author
Marcus Henderson Wilder was born and reared in the Mexican border country of South Texas. Books, and the border dual culture, were the formative influences of his early life.
Marcus is a reader, a writer, a rifleman, a horseman, a traveler, a careful observer.
In the first grade, Ursuline nuns taught little Marcusa love of reading. Reading opened the wider world to a hungry young mind. Reading fed an intense interest in what lay beyond the delta of the Rio Grande. That interest intensified with time, intensifies still.
As a boy, Marcus had books, a bicycle, a horse, a dog, a .22 rifle, a pet Brahma bull, and freedom to roam the thorny brush. What more could a boy want, video games?
As a teen, Marcus read in National Geographic about an Asian game, buz kashi, played on horseback with a headless carcass of a goat or calf. Marcus studied the photographs carefully.
Marcus knew he could do what the Asian horsemen did. Marcus resolved to play that game. Forty years later, he did.Marcus was interviewed about the Pakistan book by Crissie Murnin on Cox Radio station KONO. The interview was rebroadcast on other Cox radio stations.

Naïve & Abroad: Pakistan, Travel in a Land of Mullahs is about that quest... about the greatest day any horseman could hope to live. Along the way, Marcus traveled through strange places and saw stranger things. He faithfully reports.
Marcus has traveled much of the world. He is street fluent in Spanish and German.
Naïve & Abroad: Spain, Limping 600 Miles Through History is the collected pilgrimage columns from the San Antonio EXPRESS-News with chapters sandwiched between on Moors, Bidets, Jews, Gypsies, Templars, 1492, Smuggling, Costa del Sol, Inquisition, Civil War, Guernica, Slave Trade, Fascism, and more... an eclectic mix of information you probably have not seen.
This book is centered by a fine Via de la Plata photo essay from Brandon Wilson, award-winning author and über-pilgrim. This 600-mile walk was one of Brandon's shorter walks. Brandon walked across Tibet. Brandon walked from Dijon to Jerusalem. Brandon recently walked the length of the Alps, 1200 miles.
Marcus was interviewed about the Via de la Plata book by Berit Mason on Clear Channel flagship station WOAI.

Naïve & Abroad: Israel & Palestine, Obvious Questions No One Asks will
shock most Americans. Expect deceit exposed. The Politically Correct - again - will not be amused.
The unpublished noir novella about Naranjo, an Assassin, was converted to a screenplay.
As a boy, Marcus read about a prospector searching for a lost mine in the Mexican Sierra Madre. From the rim of a steep canyon, the prospector saw - hundreds of feet below - the ruins of ranch buildings and a grove of orange trees, naranjos.
Legend said the mine could be reached from this deserted ranch where Yaquis killed everyone to protect the location of the mine. The prospector never found the entrance to the canyon. Perhaps Yaquis watched.
Naranjo, the elusive assassin, takes his name from those forever elusive, never reached naranjos, orange trees. An orange grove is a naranjal.
Naranjo's love interest, who becomes an assassin as well, is called Bambú.
