Sober. Hubs. B-Books Author—gritty, heartfelt, a little sideways. Writes about flawed people chasing messy dreams. #RedOrGreen. Fan of cigars, tinwork artist, and stories that bite.

Good day to dive into my newest novel—a wild ride of misguided family, unexpected love, and a dash of crime, all unfolding just down the street from #BreakingBad. #NewMexico #SanfordAndSonVibes

My latest work is coming 5/13/2025! #hilarious heartache #chaotic domestic life #love duct-taped together #rough-around-the-edges heart #humorous resilience #Albuquerque #NewMexico #SantaFe
From the sweltering heat of Albuquerque to the rusted edges of a junkyard reborn, Adoption, Inc. tells the gritty and unexpectedly heartwarming story of Ron and Marge Trenton—an unconventional couple with a chaotic dream. Tired of being dismissed and desperate to build both a family and a future, they throw caution (and paperwork) to the wind and take adoption into their own hands. What begins as a desperate scheme quickly evolves into something bigger: a makeshift home, a scrapyard-turned-sanctuary, and a wildly improvised mission to prove they have what it takes to raise a family—by any means necessary. Equal parts heart, hustle, and hilarity, this story showcases the complicated beauty of a chosen family and what happens when love, ambition, and duct tape hold it all together. Fans of dark comedy and family dramas with bite will feel right at home in the trenches (and scrap heaps) of Adoption, Inc.

Out 5/13/2025! New book, new journeys. Adoption, Inc.: A Family Affair peels back the layers of grit, survival, and the flawed humanity that binds us. Raw, real, and a little messy — just like life. #AmWriting #Fiction #NewRelease #Albuquerque #NewMexico #Grit #DarkComedy

My novels are a cozy murder mystery in Wyoming and a political suspense novel. It's been a good start to the year. #authorlife #writercommunity #booksky

Stay warm, and check on at-risk folks and pets. It is not just cold, it is dangerous cold. And it's literally everywhere.
