About 10,000 Bullets, Book 1: Riding With The Dead
“Night’s heart was beating so hard he could hardly breathe. His thoughts were as chaotic as the reborn outlaw’s demented caprioling. He stared at his hands. These were not normal hands. These hands could change everything.”
Night Miller had always been able to see ghosts. But, when a band of vicious desperadoes kidnap his adopted sister and leave him for dead among the wreckage of a massacred wagon train, the young Native American boy discovers another strange power awakening within him:
The ability to pull spirits back into the mortal realm.
Stranded miles away from any kind of civilization, Night realizes he must use this newfound ability to round up a supernatural posse if he has any hope of rescuing Hannah. A chance meeting with spectral outlaw Byron, former leader of the long-dead 10,000 Bullets Gang, then provides the boy with an opportunity he can’t pass up. Night promises to help Byron and his slain comrades with their unfinished business, if they swear to ride with him in return.
Will Night be able to keep his growing crew of wayward souls together long enough to get Hannah back? And how far is he prepared to go for the sake of vengeance? Because the further he pursues those who wronged him across America’s wild landscape, the deeper Night finds himself plunged into a brewing war between terrifying, inhuman factions.
One way or another, the boy will need bullets. Lots of bullets.

Author Bio:
Brilliant, masterful, touching… these are all things B. D. Greer would love for readers to say about his books. But at the end of the day he will settle for one final consensus: “If nothing else that was pretty interesting!”
A true student of the pop culture sphere, Greer has been absorbing just about every form of media from a young age, turning them into a churning, polychromatic fuel for the squishy word processor he calls a brain. His love for literature blossomed from the stories his mother read him as a child and grew from there at an accelerated rate. Whether it's legendary novels like Blood Meridian, Fight Club or American Gods, Edgar Allen Poe’s oeuvre, movies, anime, folklore, or even videogames, he’s not afraid to harvest and curate favored elements from the unlikeliest sources.
In fact, this varied artistic appetite has led to Billy’s personal writing philosophy: to create unapologetic genre fiction with a literary level of craft and an experimental ethos. While there isn’t a particular genre he focuses on, some of his favorites are Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Western and Crime. Either way, if you’re in the mood for something a few steps outside the ordinary, Greer might be an author worth getting to know.
His current works of note include the dark “toy story” Gloomy Ruins Everything, and supernatural western 10,000 Bullets Part 1: Riding With the Dead. Much more to come! He lives in San Antonio, Texas with his wife and their three dogs, and enjoys rocking out to heavy metal and shooting funny sketches with his brothers for their YouTube channel: @Lets3.
