I'm a Western Punk author who writes books for lovers. Rebels. Punks. Dreamers. Nomads. Artists. Fighters. All-nighters. Sinners. Saints. Vagabonds. The ones who refuse to give up. Poets. Moms. Dogs. And the occasional creep who stumbles across my work by mistake.

At the end of the day, I'm just trying to be a good dude in a wild world.

Left Me Thinking Long After

This one really surprised me. I started reading during a quiet weekend and couldn’t put it down. The storyline felt oddly relevant, like it was speaking to stuff we’re dealing with now.

I love when a book messes with your expectations in a good way, and this definitely did that for me.
