The festive 1920s in Santa Fe are the setting for this comic romance. After a slip with the scissors has refashioned her bob, the novel's twenty-year-old heroine, Amanda Williams, embraces the mistake, deciding to check into La Fonda to attend the next day's Fiesta disguised as a boy. Soon she is entangled in a net of mistaken identities.
Janet Chapman is the coauthor of the award-winning biography Kenneth Milton Chapman: A Life Dedicated to Indian Arts and Artists. She lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Madcap Masquerade builds delightfully on the venerable fiction tradition of romance gone crossways, mistaken identity, gender confusion, elaborate disguises, and meant-to-be lovers who keep missing connections. . . . A clever book to make you smile while subtly teaching both history and tolerance."" - Anne Hillerman, author of Rock with Wings ""Delightfully echoes Shakespeare's As You Like It, bringing new energy to the comedy of errors in which self-recognition and, finally, expiation are surprisingly possible."" - Kevin McIlvoy, author of The Complete History of New Mexico: Stories
