About the Book

As Daniel watched, Ramona crept closer to her former burden, telling herself she only wanted to see if the chains were broken and unusable. She didn't want to admit that it was talking to her again. "Nieta," it hissed. The snake head moved its dead jaws with the greeting. "Mu muero de hambre. Hungry," it said. She stood hypnotized. "There it is!" Narendra galloped right up beside her, breathing heavily from his run. He broke the spell. Ramona quickly reared back in horror. It had nearly taken her again, she realized. The Rajput used his sword and ran it gingerly through the reptile's mouth to get it off the wooden Indian statue, all the while gently nudging Ramona aside. Immediately the snake head clamped its fangs onto the steel; just as abruptly the Rajput screamed, swung the sword high through the air, and tossed the head far ahead of them on the arroyo floor. ---A buxom Mexican witch doomed to a disastrous ending drags two strange companions across Texas with her in Arroyo, a paranormal western and pulp action adventure story for a modern audience. As her traveling companion Sinjin McIntosh Narendra (the Rajput) alternately plunges and bumbles his way towards his ultimate fate, and Daniel either thwarts or abets their every plan--- See Ramona resist the kiss of the vampire. Watch as Ramona subverts the hand of God to her will. Follow Ramona, the Rajput and Daniel as they leave Texas history in shambles pursuing their own destinies. A pulp adventure western novel with touches of the horror genre, Arroyo is a roller coaster ride through 1893 Texas.
About the Author: Gretchen Rix is a Texas author producing fiction in several different genres. "The Cowboy's Baby", a humor-infused romance, is the Lockhart author's first published novel. "Arroyo", a paranormal western set in 1893 Texas, is her second. She has also published a horror short story "When Gymkhana Smiles" and a fantasy tale "The Taking of Rhinoceros 456". In 2012 she is beginning a mystery series that will be set in Lockhart titled "Talking To The Dead Guys", A Boo-Done-It mystery. With a degree in journalism and job experience in paying health insurance claims, as dispatcher for the 7-11 chain of trucking, and as a freelance writer, Gretchen Rix recently chose Lockhart, Texas as her retirement home and took up novel and short story writing again. She has been writing fiction her whole life but has only now gotten serious about being published. Previously she lived in Greenville and Tyler, Texas. With her sister, she helped originate and coordinates the Scare The Dickens Out of Us ghost story contest that helps fund the Friends of the Dr. Eugene Clark Library in Lockhart. The contest has just completed its third year and has raised several thousand dollars for the library while encouraging writers to write. Ms. Rix is a member of the Irving Club, the Texas Democratic Women of Caldwell County, and of Romance Writers of Amercia. She often attends horror, fantasy and science fiction conventions.
