About the author

Tammy Tate

18 books58 followers
Tammy Tate was born and raised in Hollywood, Florida but has lived most of her adult life in Texas. Her passion to write began in high school. It follows her everywhere she goes...creating a world where anything is possible. She's been married to the same wonderful man for over thirty years. Her secret to a long marriage? It's easy when you marry your best friend. In her world, Friday night is still date night.

Before she became a full-time author, she was an Executive Secretary, a Computer Consultant/Technician, and a Communications Officer (Police Dispatcher). She doesn't mind a challenge which has allowed her to race a late-model in a women's powder puff race, run barrels and poles in a play-day rodeo and drive an 18-wheeler. Somewhere in between, she and her husband raised three wonderful children. When she's not breathing life into her characters or jotting down ideas for a new book, she and her husband are exploring country roads on their Honda Gold Wing.

Since she believes reading is the next best thing to writing, she enjoys romance, fantasy, science fiction and thrillers. In December of 2013, she signed her first book contract with a traditional publisher. Her books have made Amazon's Best Seller list.

Above all, she loves to hear from you...

Code Redhead: Day Of The Dead is a dark horror short story written by J.R. Wirth. Sham Jones found himself out in the rain consoling Cali's BFF, a scrawny girl named Linda McNally, who generally made his skin crawl. They were both bereft, bereft and overwhelmed with dread over Cali's likely fate. Sham had tried to discourage Cali from getting into Red's car, even to the point of physically placing himself between them, but she seemed drawn to the older, charismatic young man with the teal blue Trans Am. Sham couldn't wrap his mind around the fact of her rejection, her careless giving in to impulse on this rainy Halloween late afternoon. She seemed complicit with her seducer who glibly pronounced that the next day was el dio de los muertos in tones that carried directly to Sham. His need to protect her battled with Sham’s fear of the larger, menacing Red, who tossed him a bottle of vodka, promising it would bring illumination and insight. Sham ended up sleeping the night in the school's gymnasium, shivering in the damp chill, waiting for Cali to return.

Halloween and its companion holiday, el dio de los muertos, are days steeped in mystery and the unknown, and J.R. Wirth beautifully exploits that ambiance in his dark short story, Code Redhead: Day Of The Dead. I loved the way even the elements conspire in the dark goings-on as the doomed Cali blithely follows Red down the road to Never-Ever land, the large tracts of wilderness beyond the logging camps, also known to the locals as the land of lost innocence...and lives. Code Redhead is a powerful and moving tale as Sham finds himself unwittingly carried along with the increasingly strange Lin, who is alternately appealing and repulsive, and causes him to think in terms of mingled violence and lust. This is a tense and neat little thriller of a short story that snatches the reader out of his easy chair and propels him into the rain-damp scene from the first paragraph, and then drags him along for a nightmarish rescue ride into hell. It's dark, taut and a perfect read for a dark Halloween evening. Code Redhead: Day Of The Dead is most highly recommended.
