Checked out the Hispanic and Spanish markets this morning in Santa Fe. Lots of great devotion and contemporary art with several fun conversations. #art #markets #santafe

Started edit ona #wip after 3 weeks off the project. Had some of the same edits, nice consistency. #author

Here's part of the security video of the guy who climbed the fence of a lifesaving weather radar installation in Oklahoma City and damaged equipment to temporarily shut it down.

If you recognize this guy, call the police and turn him in.

Just the beginning of budget cuts for essential services equaling loss of life and tragedy. #Accountability

Tonight’s pairing - Punch Golden Era & Coke Zero.

There's a lot happening in the world—some of it deeply complex, and some painfully simple yet still tragic and unnecessary. I try to focus on what I can control and stay grounded in the positive. So far, it seems to help.

Sometimes, a character really pushes back against the direction I had in mind. Recently, I hit a dead end with one and experimented with different techniques to move forward. I tried thought-mapping a character, and to my surprise, it actually helped. www.amazon.com/Adoption-Inc...

Well, hello there, here is the new bio: B-Books Author—gritty, heartfelt, a little sideways. Writes flawed people chasing messy dreams. #RedOrGreen. Fan of cigars, tinwork art, 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

Adoption, Inc is out with only a slight publication bump! #darkhumor #fiction #Albuquerque #NewMexico #junkyardlife www.amazon.com/Adoption-Inc...

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.
