The one indisputable fact is that we are here, all of us. Consuming towards oblivion. We have used the waters we emerged from and the air we breathe as our slit trench.
We teeter on the edge of destruction. This is not a myth, legend, or statement of faith. Now we cry, God save us. Listen. What do you hear?

Free: Big City Secrets
June 20, 2024 By
“A raw and visceral journey through the alleys and penthouses of America, Big City Secrets is a striking tale of pushing through pain to discover ones potential. From an abusive childhood and early abandonment issues to complexes around sex, intimacy, money, and success, this book and its sympathetic protagonist shy away from nothing, turning a spotlight on human nature through the smudged and fickle lens of Los Angeles. With gritty, unpolished dialogue that seems like its pulled right from the street, and a matter-of-fact style of storytelling reminiscent of Bukowski or Bret Easton Ellis, this is a sleazy, but urgent sermon on the West Coast mount, an unapologetic journey into the dark heart of Americas illusion.” -SPR Free on Kindle.
