Sinopsis

Cowboy. Miner. Army scout. Matt Walker is a man shaped by the desert.
 
Raised hard and trained by the Apache, he’s faster, smarter, and deadlier than most men alive. When he rides into the dusty town of Joshua after a brutal encounter in the wild, he's not looking for trouble. But trouble finds him anyway.
 
Roscoe Bowen, an outlaw with his eyes on the Double O ranch, is willing to kill for what lies beneath its hills: gold. Backed by hired guns, Roscoe is ready to take the land by force. But Matt Walker isn’t about to stand by, especially after crossing paths with Otto Hicks’ strong-willed daughter, Dixie.
 
Caught in a range war, Matt will have to draw faster and think sharper than ever before. He doesn’t want to stay - but some fights won’t let a man walk away.
 
A gritty western tale of frontier justice, THE DESERT BORN is the second book in the Fast Gun series by Terence Newnes.

    Ethan Frome is Edith Wharton’s masterful tale of isolation, duty, and forbidden longing set against the stark backdrop of rural New England. In the frozen town of Starkfield, Massachusetts, the quiet and physically broken Ethan Frome toils through a bleak existence alongside his cold, hypochondriac wife, Zeena. When her cousin Mattie Silver arrives to help care for Zeena, Ethan finds himself drawn to her warmth and vitality. As their connection deepens, an impossible choice brews beneath the surface—between passion and obligation, between escape and sacrifice. 
    Told through the eyes of an unnamed outsider who uncovers the tragic story piece by piece, Ethan Frome explores the crushing power of social expectations and the irreversible consequences of a single decision. With its haunting atmosphere and poignant psychological insight, this novella remains one of Wharton’s most enduring and heartbreaking works.

    The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
    Book 3 of 7 Elizabeth Device 
    The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
    Elizabeth Device, a struggling widow in 1600s Lancashire, fought to protect her family after her daughter Alizon was accused of cursing a peddler. As whispers of witchcraft grew, Elizabeth's world collapsed—her mother, Old Demdike, died in prison, and her son James spoke recklessly of spirits. A family gathering at Malkin Tower was twisted into tales of a witches' sabbath by fearful neighbors. The final blow came when Elizabeth's nine-year-old daughter Jennet, likely coerced, testified against her in court, describing imaginary familiars and curses. Despite a spectral dog's offer of freedom in exchange for Jennet's life, Elizabeth refused to betray her child, even as the noose tightened around her neck. On August 20, 1612, she was hanged at Lancaster Castle, her dying words a curse not on Jennet, but on the injustice that turned daughter against mother. Her story endures as a haunting reminder of the Pendle witch trials' cruellest betrayal.  
    This is the third book in a series of seven audiobooks and it's only $3. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them. 
    The story itself runs to about 14 minutes, narrated in my own voice. 
    I do hope you and enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

    In the 19th century, they embark on a mission to bring two murderers to justice for a large bounty, and their relentless pursuit of the outlaws takes them across the vast and beautiful North American frontier. Years later, when everything they hold dear is threatened, they are forced into a final and epic conflict.
