About This Blog

C.M. MAYO’S BOOK NOTES & CONVOS is a refocused version of my original blog, Madam Mayo, which first appeared in at the dawn of “lit-blogging” in 2006 and regularly so until mid-2022. Generally, my posts tend to be related to my work, which focusses on exploring various dimensions of Mexico, Texas, and the US Mexico borderlands— although oftentimes I range further afield.

If this interests you, look for a book note on the first Monday of the month, and on occasion a convo (conversation) with another writer or artist on the third Monday. If you’d like to subscribe for free, please visit the mirror site over at Substack.


I do not have the wherewithal to wrangle a comments section, however, I welcome your comments at pugandbee ( at ) protonmail (dot) com.
