HERETIC. DESERT SIREN. OUTLAW.

1876

Daphne Goode has been executed by the state of Texas four times. She’s hunted by the Texas Rangers after being accused of murder, train robbing, horse stealing, disruption, and inciting violence. Tales of the gang of bandits she commands, and the stories of her gun-slinging prowess, have spread far and wide, earning her the moniker, “fastest gun in the west.” Her ability to magically bend bullets and rumors of her resurrections fuel her myth. When she and her band of outcasts capture Ransom McEntire, son of an oil tycoon, he’s presumed dead, and Daphne Goode disappears. Two years later, Ransom stumbles into the Irving Hollow Sheriff’s office with a warning: Daphne Goode is coming for you.

Unwanted. Beaten. Broken.

2026

AJ Jones is heartsick. Reeling after a messy public breakup, she’ll stop at nothing to blend in. Her to-do list is simple: keep her head down, keep her friends close, and keep a lid on all of her rage. When she’s cast in the town musical as the enigmatic Daphne Goode, she’s thrust into the spotlight. She’ll have to learn to gunsling, resist her ex’s best friend, and resurrect Daphne from her grave, one last time. Ancient power collides with the 21st century as AJ becomes what she desperately desires not to be: outlawed.

Hi y’all, I’m KD.

I’m happy you’re here!

If you like sweeping epics, outlaws, cowboys, a crisp Coca-Cola, gossiping on a front porch, sweating in the back of a guy’s pick-up, magic, and music, stay awhile.

If you’re an outlaw, welcome home.
