Words from a gonzoesque life in an oh so gonzoless world

It’s Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!: A Tornado of Love, Lust, Addiction, and Loss!

I’m proud to present my new memoir in verse, Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh My!: A Tornado of Love, Lust, Addiction, and Loss, for National Poetry Month! Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh My! is a gritty hybrid collection of Southern Gothic short stories, narrative poems, and vignettes inspired by my life in Southern Indiana.

Synopsis: A teenage girl runs away to escape a home filled with cruelty and betrayal, only to marry into a world of drugs and chaos even more violent. Her plunge into bedlam and fight to survive are a truthful look at navigating a rollercoaster of emotional morality through the drug-entrenched heart of the Conservative Midwest at the turn of the century.

From font to illustration to complete book design, I designed this project with all my heart. I hope you feel the soul I pored into these pages. Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!: A Tornado of Love, Lust, Addiction, and Loss is now available on Amazon and other major platforms… grab your copy and live every word with me.
