About the Author

Kate Tailor

According to Kate Tailor, "My first job was building planes, my second working with worms, my third, snug behind the pharmacy counter." Now she spends her time at a messy writing desk with two sleeping cats and dozens of stories scrawled across scrap paper.  She has been writing stories in her head (and sometimes murmuring them under my breath) since she was five. Over the last few years she committed them to paper. She writes the  stories that she wanted to read, but never found. If you’re looking for something interesting, she hopes you’ve found it here. Besides writing, Kate loves her husband, kids, and cats (less so on writing days). She also loves the mountains, rain, cappuccino, worms, board games (not monopoly), and friends. To learn more about Kate (and her writing because let’s face it you probably don’t care about the worms) visit her website at katetailor.com.

Mariana’s Knight

A father and son vanish. A legend is born.

On February 1, 1896, Albert Fountain-prominent attorney, lawmaker, and fearless militia leader-set out across the desolate Tularosa Basin with his eight-year-old son, Henry. Despite threats against his life, Albert was determined to see justice served, returning home after securing indictments against powerful cattle thieves. His wife, Mariana, believing no one would harm a man traveling with a child, had urged him to take Henry along. Before they departed, she entrusted Henry with a small ivory horsehead fob-a symbol of his promise to protect his father.

They never made it home.

Their wagon was found abandoned in the vast desert, the horses missing, and a patch of blood-soaked sand glistening in the sun. Though their bodies were never recovered, whispers of vengeance and survival grew into legend-some say Henry lived to avenge his father’s murder. Others claim the truth was swallowed by the shifting desert winds.

Rich in historical detail, Mariana’s Knight brings to life a true unsolved mystery of the American Southwest-a tale of tragedy, resilience, and the undying bond between a mother and her son.

 

Bobby Robot

In a world run by machines, one boy must prove the heart still matters.
Sixteen-year-old Bobby is the last human on a planet full of robots. His only shot at survival—and maybe restarting the entire human race—is to pass the Programming: brutal training designed to erase emotion and turn him into a flawless, logic-driven mind.
Fail, and his consciousness is uploaded into the Tether: a robotic shell with no feelings, no free will, and zero future for humanity.
The bots say this is the way forward. That emotion is a bug, not a feature. That humans weren’t worth saving in the first place.
At first, Bobby’s not sure they’re wrong.
Then Jen crash-lands on the planet. She’s unpredictable. Loud. Very human. And she makes Bobby start to feel—really feel—for the first time in forever.
Now Bobby has a choice: conform, upload, and lose what little humanity he has left…
Or risk everything to prove the bots wrong—even if it means failing the test, breaking the rules, and learning to care in a world built not to.
Bobby Robot is a high-stakes, heartfelt sci-fi adventure about identity, emotion, and the glitchy, chaotic brilliance of being human.

 

Where the Crows Fly

In Breyer, Texas, a murder of crows circles overhead the morning Big Andy Connor is found facedown in the mud behind his saloon.
The Crow Fly wasn’t just a brothel. To the women who live and work there, it’s shelter. Hard-won. Held together by grit and necessity, for better or worse. With Big Andy gone and the law circling just as surely as the crows, they can’t wait for protection or permission. They take the reins. Old Peg, Kate Dawson, Molly Brewster, and Cocheta band together to keep the brothel running—because when the world turns its back, women turn to each other. Emily Augusta, the local dressmaker who found Andy’s body, steps in to manage the books.
But in Breyer, the past never stays buried.
As Sheriff Jed Thornton hunts for a killer, old grudges surface, a slick stranger starts buying up the town, and the women of The Crow Fly learn that justice—like grief—isn’t always clean. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s cold. And sometimes, it flies on black wings.
Where the Crows Fly is a haunting Western mystery from Will Rogers Medallion–winning author Sharon Frame Gay—a story of survival, sisterhood, and the thin line between guilt and grace in a town too good at keeping its secrets.
