A desert storm tears Marisol Sierra out of 2004 Yucca Valley and throws her into a 1977 cartoon frontier where legends breathe and danger wears a human face.
The Wild West isn't a myth here it's alive, cursed, and watching.
Saved by Lázaro Cruz, a silent gunslinger bound to an ancient relic, Marisol finds herself trapped between eras as outlaws close in, and the past refuses to stay buried. The relic hums with power. The land remembers blood. And Lázaro carries more ghosts than words.
To survive, Marisol must learn the rules of a world that was never meant to be kind where loyalty is earned in fire, love is a liability, and leaving may cost more than staying.
Some storms don't pass.
They choose.
🌩️ A cinematic romantic adventure of time-slip fate, outlaw danger, cursed magic, and a love that defies eras.

Lourdes: A Vampire In The Old West
The year is 1877. The reclusive vampire Lourdes has gone West to escape the temptation of the growing American nation; however, what he presumed was a pure land of only sky and sand turns out to be filled with vice and worse - more of his preternatural kind. And when Lourdes shoots dead a vampire preying on the closest thing to innocence in the Old West, a brothel worker named Katterina, he ends up igniting a war that puts himself, Katterina, and the whole of her little town in the crosshairs of a gang of vampire outlaws. To save the girl, Lourdes must do battle with otherworldly bandits, a corrupt priest, a cowardly sheriff, and the relentless desert sun. And, even if Lourdes can overcome these obstacles, he will have to protect Katterina from his own vampiric hunger. Lourdes's story threads a central narrative rich with gunfights and fangs together with interludes into the inner workings and underbellies of the denizens the vampire cowboy encounters on his journey. It paints a portrait of a lawless world which no longer exists, one in which the difference between good, bad, law, and outlaw is often no bigger than a grain of sand. "With Lourdes, Peter Tatara has delivered a well-crafted genre mash up and an unforgettable main character. Fans of Stephen King's Dark Tower cycle are sure to love this novel." - Robert Place Napton (Dark Wraith of Shannara, Son of Merlin, Battlestar Galactica Origins: Adama) "Tatara is to be commended for his remarkable ambition, talent, and skill, and I am quite positive this won't be the last we'll be hearing from this vibrant new author." - Joshua Ortega (The Other Dead, Gears of War) "Anyone new to the Vampire Western genre should most certainly allow Lourdes's odyssey to be their very first bite." - Matt Hawkins (FORT90, Attract Mode) Cover Design by Eric Maruscak - PepperInk.com Cover Photo by Olivier Le Queinec - Shutterstock.comComplete
Grit and Grace (Iron Star Ranch Book 1)
In the untamed American frontier of 1870, 17-year-old Noemi is sold into marriage to Riven, a hardened Civil War veteran with a reputation as a ruthless cowboy. Scarred by his past and burdened with the responsibility of inheriting a sprawling ranch in Oregon, Riven is determined to keep his new bride at arms length. As they journey across the treacherous Oregon Trail, bound for a life neither of them envisioned, Noemi's fierce spirit and innocence begin to thaw Riven's hardened heart. Despite their rocky start, an unexpected bond forms between them, filled with moments of playful competition, mutual respect, and a deepening attraction that neither can ignore. But the trail is fraught with dangers, both from the wild terrain and the ghosts of their pasts. As they face the challenges of survival together, Noemi learns to harness her own strength, demanding to learn the skills that will allow her to stand beside Riven as his equal. Along the way, she uncovers a softer side of the man she's bound to, while Riven is forced to confront his fears of vulnerability and the possibility to love. Yet, as they near their destination, the question remains: can they truly leave behind the pain of their pasts and forge a future together on the unforgiving frontier, or will the harsh realities of the Wild West tear them apart before they even have a chance?Complete

As bodies fall and secrets rise, Red must decide whether mercy has a place in her legend - or if she's too far gone to turn back. A story etched in blood, memory, and myth - where mercy is the most dangerous thing of all.
