Arroyo
Sweltering in a Texas arroyo, three unlikely companions battle evil in the first step on a long mission. It's 1893 and Ramona Cervantes, Sinjin McIntosh Narendra, and a barkeep named Daniel face their first of many obstacles . . . a demon-possessed idol. They soon find themselves on a course fraught with danger, secrets, and strange encounters, especially Ramona. Ramona finds herself running from an Apache tribe, chasing away flying lights, making a trade with an ageless vampire, kidnapped by a magician, falling in love with a monster, and teaching cats to speak Spanish while making pancakes. It is clear that Ramona and the two men are on a mission--but a mission from whom? God? The devil? Whoever sent them on this mission has a finale in mind. Or does he? The three may not know what that endgame is, but they will fight with all they have to get there.

Arroyo has the feel of "Alice in Wonderland" but with a Texas twist.
We follow Ramona, a mysterious woman literally chained to a malignant wooden Indian and metaphorically chained to two unusual traveling companions. Over the course of the story, these chains are bent and broken as Ramona meets unworldly creatures throughout what can only be described as a spirit quest.Everyone Ramona meets has a secret; some reveal them willingly, others will only slyly hint at what they hide. In fact, Ramona herself may be more than what she appears...
Arroyo is an intricate, fascinating read that will keep you guessing as you turn the pages. Whether you've been to Texas or just like to read about it, Arroyo's tall tales will leave you entertained.
