A Website For The Books and Stories of One Central Texas Author

We know. RIX CAFE TEXICAN sounds like a restaurant, but it isn't. It's a joke based on my name Gretchen Rix  and the movie Casablanca.
When I'm writing romances it's Gretchen Lee Rix, and Gretchen Rix for when I'm writing mysteries, weird Westerns, short stories, science fiction, fantasy, action-adventure, and someday, pirate tales. 
As I said above, the name is an homage to one of my favorite movies, Casablanca. As in Rick's Cafe American. Fulfilled one of my childhood ambitions with this name. And it only took five years, but finally we don't get calls from people wanting to sell us credit card machines and restaurant equipment.

E-books of my novels and stories are available through the usual suspects.

 Our covers are by Streetlight Graphics. Indeed, the bull, dog, and zombie in tulips scene over there is the original background digital painting for Baby Sings the Boos.

But first, Cute Animal pictures.

About Gretchen Lee Rix

Picture
KDP author Gretchen Lee Rix reads a lot. She also watches too much television. She writes novels in her spare time, figuring that anyone with such a splendidly boring life as hers would have to have a fantastic imagination.

From this premise Gretchen has concocted the contemporary fairy tale-inspired romantic comedies THE COWBOY'S BABY and THE COWBOY'S BABY GOES TO HEAVEN. There will be a third novel in this series. Sleeping Beauty figures heavily in the first book, Puss in Boots in the second. And believe it or not, both books are romance novels.

The Boo Done It series features the Rix family's American mastiff dog as one of the main characters. TALKING TO THE DEAD GUYS exposes the barbecue capital of Texas (that's Lockhart to everyone else) to murder and mayhem and enough humorous predicaments to make readers laugh out loud. TEA WITH A DEAD GAL is the second in this series.  She has plans to write the Boo Done It mystery series until she runs out of ideas. And Lockhart is a very interesting little town.

Gretchen was a member of Romance Writers of America, The Irving Club, and Netflix. Alas,  only the Irving Club remains. ARROYO, her stand-alone venture into the weird western genre, is her second piece of horror writing. WHEN GYMKHANA SMILES, a short story, was her first. Most of her other published short stories fall into the whimsical fantasy category. She also writes as G.L. Rix.

Rix Café Texican Notes

We have eleven audio books of my work now.  ILL MET BY MOONLIGHT, masterfully narrated by Emmy-award winning actor Bill Oberst Jr, seen here, is my favorite.  You don't want to miss this one. He doesn't just read the stories, he brings them to life.                     

​Here is the link (just add my audio titles into the search feature):    www.audible.com
