I write with fire. I write with sex and whiskey on the brain. I write like a motherfucker!
Been doing "shows" all around L.A. In Hollywood, Highland Park, East Los Angeles, Downtown L.A.......
I read and perform my writings to all crowds, to cool people who know what's up. My material is harsh & soft, a little offensive, but thought provoking, sexed up a bit, throw in a dash of drunkeness, certainly silly, over the top, self-deprecating as all hell, but poignant, sad, touching, tear jerking, but full of REAL LIFE, baby! Heart on the sleeves! As honest as it gets! Can you handle that?......
You can find my books "L.A. Bitch IV: The Last Word!", "L.A. Bitch III: The Writer Strikes Back!", "L.A Bitch II: The Second Coming!", "L.A. Bitch!", "A Syringe Full of Loyalty" & "East L.A. Collage" @ "Shakespeare & Company"/Paris, France, "Libreria Martinez"/Lynwood,"Casa de Sousa"/Olvera Street-Downtown Los Angeles, "City Lights Books"/San Francisco,"Metropolis Books"/Downtown Los Angeles, "Olverita's Village"/Olvera Street, Downtown LA. More locations to come.....I'm also heavy into the arts scene in downtown Los angeles. I cover the madness as a columnist for "CITIZEN LA". And I love to travel all over Europe. Backpacked 8 times solo.........
