ABOUT THE AUTHOR

CATT DAHMAN has been writing for more than 30 years. Along the way, she has been a public speaker, a director for a charity, a waitress, a researcher, an interior designer, and a retail clothing sales person and have even dabbled as a PI.
She has taught in public schools, private schools, and college. Both her degrees are from Texas A&M where she took courses such as criminal psychology, deviant behavior, abnormal psychology, sexual psychology, and criminal investigation. She is proud to be a native of Texas, and has traveled all over the US, and now back in Texas--in Fort Worth with her husband, son, 7 cats, a dog, and a ferret. Being a mom has been the best job ever. She now writes full time, working on horror, thrillers, sci fi, and criminal investigation series: a mixture of dinosaurs to serial killers, to zombies to sharks to vampires to weird westerns, to time travel, to all things spooky. She likes any story she can turn dark and chilling; she often hears that she is "a gory, scary writer" which is fine with her.

Of Blood and Water: Campground Murders (Virgil McLendon Thrillers Book 1)

h

“With a twisting story and gore beyond comprehension…I found this
story to be both engrossing and terrifying at the same time.
Ms. Dahman is a very graphic writer and is also a
very amazing story teller …” – An Amazon Reader

In 1974, a crime wave shakes a small town as children are murdered while camping with their scout troops or parents; a few were kidnapped. A young deputy, Virgil McLendon, is forced to lead an investigation into the brutal murders while a nation watches, wondering at his new techniques.

No one has heard of profiling and few know how to read a crime scene. Eventually, these methods will shape the new Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI, but in 1974, they are thought to be strange.

Virgil McLendon feels he is chasing ghosts as the killers kidnap young people, torture victims, leave a trail of dead campers, and seek to shock an entire town with the bloodshed and cruelty. As the body count rises, he feels the answers are close. Maybe far too close.

Each act is more violent the last, and the serial killers decide to go after the local law enforcement department as well. It's a battle of brains, and nothing is as it seems.

Of Blood and Water explores "nature vs. nature", family traditions, the beginnings of a new way to track criminals that will be called behavioral analysis, and the last of the innocence, as a nation changes. The face of justice will be turned aside, and vengeance may rule the case.

The Oklahoma campground murders, a true crime case, adds reality as McLendon pushes self-doubt away, and chases the killers.

The first in the Virgil McLendon series, Of Blood and Water, is where the deputy begins learning how to hunt criminals...and where he gains a taste for the chase.

BIGFOOT HUNTERS: RICK GUALTIERI

BIGFOOT HUNTERS: rick gualtieri

WOO HOO, DUDE!!!! One more day and you're golden!!!! But you gotta get off the tricycle and stop riding it in circles around the house! Yeah, I know that you’re going trick or treating as Damien and getting in some practice! And, yes, I do remember when the toddler Antichrist plows into Lee Remick and sends her tumbling off over the balcony, but you’re wearing yourself out!!! There’ll be nothing left for tomorrow night!!! You’re panting like a dog and what the heck is that smell? Wait is it me? *sniffs under my arms* Nope! Is it you? *sniffs under your arms* Nope!!! Then where is it … coming from *notices open window* Oh, my God, it’s coming through there! And that howl … why, I think it’s … it’s … BIGFOOT, dude!!!! And right on time for our Daily Book Giveaway!   

Who better to show up and play guest host than the awesome BIGFOOT!!!! I mean, there are legends, and there are LEGENDS, and BIGFOOT is one of the latter!!! Like Fox Mulder’s poster said, “I WANT TO BELIEVE!” and courtesy of the fantastic Rick Gualtieri you will!!! He’s coughing up ONE PRINT and THREE ECOPIES of his awesome, HORROR-ADVENTURE, action-packed thrill ride bigfoot hunters!!! Camping trip? Kids? Woods? Monster? Are you getting the picture?!!! And what could be more fun than kids getting decimated by a mythical creature? NOTHING!!!

Of course, Rick just had to put up a fight!!! Why, why, why?!!!! It just brings out my scary side and I do bad things … very bad things. Since he wouldn’t listen to reason, I brought out Tessie … my trained anaconda!!!! Well, SEMI-trained, anyway!!!  She sometimes listens and sometimes doesn’t!!! Don’t think it’s as much obstinacy as that one bad ear she has from me hollering at her!!! Anywho, I let her out of the van I parked in front of Rick’s house and let Tess slither on in!!! She applied the kind of bone-crushing pressure only she knows how to apply!!! When he cried “uncle,” I came rushing in and told her to stop, but she didn’t listen … or couldn’t!!! It took a truckload of chicken breasts thrown in the opposite direction to get her off of him!!! But he was fine!!! Don’t know why he was complaining so much!!! I mean, cracked ribs don’t take that long to heal!!! Just tape ‘em up and wait three months and you’re done!!!

So if you want to have some fun under the covers (Hey, hey, hey!!! Mind out of the gutter, peeps!!!)

BIGFOOT HUNTERS

“Rick is an exceptional writer with a real knack for flow,
description and characterization.” – The Indie Bookshelf
(theindiebookshelf.blogspot.com)

Evolution is about to be kicked in the teeth by some very large feet.

When Harrison Kent suggests a camping trip to the dense forests of Colorado, his friends are all eager for a little adventure. What awaits them, though, is far more than they ever bargained for.

They learn that Sasquatch is real, but these are not the shy creatures that legends speak of. A madness has claimed them, erasing their once peaceful nature and leaving in its place a ravenous horde of monsters that's about to descend upon the unsuspecting residents of a remote town.

The bloodthirsty beasts are not the only secret the woods hold, however. Help is on the way from an unlikely source. If Harrison and his friends can survive long enough, they might just be able to even the odds and reclaim mankind's place atop the food chain.
