Carlsbad resident Terry Marshall is author and publisher of CARLSBAD, a book New Mexico Magazine called "An effective, positive celebration of Carlsbad. It truly delivers a sense of what life is like for the folks in this area of southeastern New Mexico." Linda Wertheimer, host of "All Things Considered" on National Public Radio said, "Carlsbad brings back everything wonderful about growing up there. It is a great place, and Terry Marshall brings it all together for me. Carlsbad is a beautiful book."

His recent 232-page study, Carlsbad and the WIPP: A Socioeconomic Impact Study, is the most comprehensive analysis of that community's social and economic conditions ever written.

Terry has written on Carlsbad for New Mexico Magazine, Southern New Mexico Magazine, and the Carlsbad Current-Argus. His short stories have appeared in Libido, and in a forthcoming book by John Coyne, Living on the Edge: A Collection of Short Fiction by Peace Corps Writers (Curbstone Press). He is the author of The Whole World Guide to Language Learning (Intercultural Press).
