NEW NOVEL
Ad
Mike Carrigan, a former New Mexico resident, is the author of a new book titled “Somewhere Between Heaven and Golf.”
It’s a fictional account of a tournament held at the University of New Mexico Championship Golf Course, with the focus on Dr. Mick Goodart, a former UNM golfer and now a nephrologist living in Denver.
When Goodart meets Daniel Sims, a new patient and a resident of an assisted living facility, he’s shocked by Sims’ insistence that the doctor is a reincarnation of his old high school buddy, Simon Norris.
Norris was killed in a car accident the night before he was to compete in the semifinal match of the Rocky Mountain Amateur Golf Championship at the golf course.
Carrigan said in an email that the novel has many references to Albuquerque, Socorro and Las Vegas, New Mexico.
He said he was raised in New Mexico and was educated at New Mexico Military Institute and New Mexico State University. Carrigan currently lives in Windsor, Colorado.
