The mesmerizing Spencer MacCallum story is where an incurable explorer meets destiny! Charmayne Samuelson is an Award-Winning Author introducing this authorized and definitive biography of Spencer MacCallum, the anthropologist who discovered Juan Quezada and Mata Ortiz pottery. A biography in progress for many years and after hundreds of interview hours and extensive research is now available for all to enjoy. From childhood, each step of Spencer's life seemed destined to take him to Juan Quezada and Mata Ortiz. His natural curiosity at a young age of discovering ancient relics continued on with him trekking across Mexico to find one single potter, Juan Quezada, and propelling him onto the world stage as an unlikely superstar artist. This biography joins her 7 previously published titles spanning 6 genres: a Southwest mystery novel; a self-help book with explanations and techniques of self-hypnosis; stories for spiritual seekers; 4 story coloring books featuring Southwest Desert Animals; and an outstanding color photography book of the wild mustangs of the Onaqui Mountains.

Industry Reviews

"Many books and articles have been written about Juan Quezada and the potters of Mata Ortiz. Now author Charmayne Samuelson has written an important book that tells the story of anthropologist Spencer MacCallum, who was the first to recognize Juan Quezada's potential as a world-class artist; and who helped the Mata Ortiz potters create arguably the most important ceramic art movement in the second half of the 20th century."

"This is a wonderfully written and truly entertaining book! It is full of many interesting nuggets about Spencer never before published. I really appreciate the exciting stories in it and highly recommend it to anyone interested in the fascinating life of Spencer and the story of Mata Ortiz pottery. Congratulations to author Charmayne Samuelson on a great job well done."
