In a small corrupt settlement in the Wild West, the tumbleweeds are the
only prospect of authenticity until a retired bronc buster named Alonzo Bill
rides into town. A lifelong cynic of the supernatural, he takes advantage of
others’ fears of the unknown. He finds it easier and more profitable
to make a living as a con artist rather than a cowboy. Feeding into the
desperation and naivety of the town’s residents, he swindles anyone
fearing the paranormal haunts them.

The luxury of his new career filled with fame, riches, and little effort
seems perfect until he meets his match when called to assist a preacher with
a unique situation. Confounded by what he witnesses leads him to question
all of his prior convictions and calls him to carry out purging the earth of
unfathomable evils. Find out what happens when a coming to Jesus moment
inspires a con to become the ultimate judge, jury, and executioner of
sinister forces.

“Burying bodies ain’t always easy when you’re a retired
cowboy.”

About the Author

Brigitte, “Gitte,” Tamar was born in a small rural Oregon town.
Growing up, she was enthralled by scary tales featuring poetic tones and
consistently gravitated towards writing darkened narratives. In the
different storylines, Brigitte explores the harsh realities of social issues
faced by today’s generations. This includes the dark outcomes brought on by
peer pressure, addiction, homelessness, mental illness, childhood trauma,
and abuse. She feels it is essential to share narratives that refrain from
sugarcoating the topics society tends to shy away from.

Only I can hear your screams and decide your fate…

As the chatty classroom of kindergarten children excitedly awaits the final
bell to release them for the weekend, Chloe, racked with exhaustion,
desperately attempts to keep her eyes open. Nervously staring at the
battered wooden desk, her six-year-old mind becomes fixated on the sound of
the room’s ticking clock. Emaciated and sleep-deprived, she reluctantly
surrenders her consciousness. The innocent moment of a typical childhood
daydream quickly turns into a nightmare filled with a familiar ghoulish
entity and its torturous acts. Chloe struggles to survive the grim reality
of her hellish life in which trauma-derived monsters haunt every moment of
her existence.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Profanity, Abuse, Violence, and Death

Shadows That Speak Blitz

Horror

Date Published: December 12, 2021

Daniel Manley did not experience a single moment of human kindness when
cast out as a child onto the merciless cobblestone streets of 19th century
London.

One unsympathetic evening, while he lay cold and alone in a dark alley, he
pleaded for death over living his abhorrent life a single moment longer.
Upon taking his last gasp of frigid air, a mysterious voice emanates from
the alley’s darkest corner, stopping his despair. Daniel scans the darkness
for the voices’ origination.

His fear turned to optimism as he takes solace in the words spoken by his
newfound savior, ‘Father.’ Guided by Fathers, ‘sound advice,’ Daniel does
his bidding, reigning terror on all who cause society’s ruination.

Is Father a figment of his imagination, or is he possessed by a dark beast
that feeds on his unanswered prayers?

Horror / Suspense / Thriller

Date Published: July 14, 2022

Leigh Ramos is a woman on the run from her own life. After barely escaping
from a toxic relationship with a drug dealer, emotionally codependent Leigh
decides to start her life over somewhere far from the hills of Kentucky. She
feels inexplicably drawn to Hawaii, where she manages to land a job in an
exclusive resort. At first, it almost seems too good to be true, and of
course, it is.

Supernatural horrors start manifesting all around Leigh and her new
co-workers, and soon she starts having disturbing nightmares of impossible
creatures calling out to her. To make matters worse, Leigh’s violent
ex-boyfriend is close on her tail, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.
Now trapped in the midst of all these dangers, Leigh can’t help but fall
back on old habits. She finds comfort in the arms of her new boss, an upbeat
hospitality manager who seems almost too perfect.

In order to survive paradise, Leigh will need to learn from her past
mistakes or she will be doomed to repeat them.
