📚 Author Announcement! 📚

We’re thrilled to welcome Author Betsy Randolph to our family of authors! 🎉 A powerhouse storyteller and former Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lieutenant, Betsy brings a fresh, unique voice to Western crime fiction, blending gritty authenticity with suspenseful plots and unforgettable characters.

Her first two novels with us, LITTLE TOY TROOPER and CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD, promise page-turning mystery, action, and a dose of the supernatural. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming:

🔹 LITTLE TOY TROOPER—When Oklahoma Trooper Toy Hatley realizes she’s been murdered, she’s furious—and determined to solve her own case from beyond the grave. As she pieces together the truth, Toy uncovers corruption at the highest levels of government and will stop at nothing to bring the guilty to justice.

🔹 CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD—Mattie Horrell’s life as a pioneer and the wife of a notorious 1870s outlaw is documented in a journal, discovered 150 years later by her third great-granddaughter, a modern-day law enforcement officer. As she dives into Mattie’s world of frontier justice, lawlessness, and survival, she gains a unique window into a time gone by.

Betsy’s background in law enforcement and her deep Oklahoma roots bring a vivid, true-to-life feel to her characters and settings. With additional novels and a series of Contemporary Western Crime novels on the horizon, we know readers will be as captivated by her work as we are!

Stay tuned for more updates on LITTLE TOY TROOPER, CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD, and other upcoming projects from this remarkable talent.

Welcome to the team, Betsy! 📖✨

What’s in a Name?

What’s the deal with our name, you ask? Oghma is the Celtic god of eloquence and inspiration. As for who we are, we’re a publisher, but we’re also so much more.

Above all other things, Oghma is about creativity. We are purveyors of imagination and inspiration and culture. We are writers, photographers, designers, painters, poets — the small portion of the population that turns our collective human experience into things that can be perceived by all the senses. First and foremost, we are artists.

Throughout history artists have struggled to stand and live on the product of their craft alone. Many have had to turn to a sponsor or benefactor, turning over ownership of the creative process and the art itself. This can be a blessing, where both parties exist symbiotically, but other times it isn’t and the artist ends up being exploited and discarded. The ratio between the two is far from balanced.

In this day, potential patrons are a dime a dozen. Some are legit, truly desiring to foster art and take care of those who make it. Many others are not, and seek only to exploit the artists for their own profit. Right or wrong, these people and companies shape the cultural marketplace. They decide who gets a chance, who becomes famous, and who does not. This is where we come in. Why? Because we’re artists. We’ve been there.
