I am the author of "Roadman,"
an evocative novel following the tradition of literary greats such as Carlos Castaneda, Cormac McCarthy, Kerouac, and Burroughs. It immerses readers in landscapes, antiquity, and legends seldom explored outside historical or anthropological texts. The narrative portrays the spread of the Native American Peyote Cult and chronicles the struggles of individuals and minorities contending with war, assimilation, forced displacement, and the battle to maintain dignity and fundamental rights under intense pressure to conform or face dire consequences. Against this backdrop, its story is a poignant tale of love, endurance, and adventure as Kuy, a Kiowa peyote priest, traverses the western badlands in pursuit of his people's origins, from pre-revolutionary Mexico to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He spreads faith and hope to his scattered, isolated parishioners. Ultimately, a final, fated psychedelic duel with a Comanche witch looms at the end of his solitary quests, unfolding like a shimmering mirage or elusive dust devil against storm-flecked horizons

As I put the finishing touches on my new full-color illustrated novel, 'The Bicycle Ride,' I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation. I can't wait to share this unique story with you all.
In a mirrored world, a boy and girl bike ride through an abandoned land haunted by stalking specters, momentary delights, and lurking terrors, learning about themselves on the cusp of mysterious adulthood and all of its bitter saccharine vagaries.
Will they have a pleasant holiday? Will they learn new lessons for themselves or their patient robot nanny, Nurse, waiting patiently for their return? Please stay tuned to this web page or be the first to read and follow their remarkable adventures in the near future! (writing a book)
I am in the final editing stage of my new YA science-fiction novel, "RUNE."
It is titled by my main protagonist's name, Rune. A young woman and a novice member of the Galaxy-wide Philosophers Guild. Her sole mission is to locate and rescue the missing members of her order. Amid her trials, battles and losses, she is accompanied by her loyal stallion, Grey, her mechanical Hawk, the Ranger Hogarth. Who loves Rune and would do anything to protect her, along with a rogue's gallery of characters.
"Rune" is a fast-paced adventure novel of hardship, ill-fated love, and loss set in the distant, mystical world of Assumption. A lost human colony cut off by war and pandemics.
Will she survive? Complete her mission? I know. But you will have to read Rune to find out! (Writing a book)
