A soldier’s notebook. A cowboy’s long ride. And the stories that came from both.

I never set out to write a book. But I’ve lived a big life, and somewhere along the way, a good friend told me to put pen to paper.

It helped save me.

Cigarettes in the Saddle is a collection of stories from the road. Twenty-two years in the Army, the cowboy life I went looking for afterward, the people and places that shaped me, the things I lost along the way, and the God who never left.

There are stories in here I’m proud of. Others were hard as hell to put on paper.

I’m sharing them for the same reason someone once encouraged me to start writing: maybe something in these pages will help you carry whatever you’re carrying.

Join the waitlist and I’ll let you know when Cigarettes in the Saddle is ready.
