With years of experience in the travel industry, along with my Tejano heritage, I have drawn inspiration from the multiple cultures and the countless destinations I’ve explored, helping mold and create vibrant characters and stories. My writing weaves together themes of identity, place, and the transformative power of travel and faith. Through my works, I aim to bridge cultures and share the unique perspective that comes from living at the crossroads of Mexican and Texan traditions in the melting pot of Southeast Texas.
Along with travel and writing, I’m passionate about bringing ideas to life. Whether it’s crafting compelling narratives or exploring new creative mediums, in creating my artwork, I believe in the power of creation to inspire and connect people across all boundaries.

Unsung Lullaby
“Unsung Lullaby” follows Danny Patterson, a successful Nashville session drummer whose perfectly ordered life is shattered when his pregnant wife Sarah and their unborn daughter Emma are killed in a car accident. The novel chronicles Danny’s devastating journey through grief as he struggles to make sense of a world that suddenly feels empty and meaningless. Unable to face the memories that haunt every corner of the home he shared with Sarah, Danny abandons his music career and flees to Portland, where he attempts to disappear into anonymity and numb his pain with alcohol.
As Danny spirals deeper into isolation and addiction, his sister Linda refuses to let him vanish completely. Her persistent love eventually leads Danny back to Nashville and into recovery, where he must confront the grief he’s been running from. When fellow musician Jake Morrison invites Danny to collaborate on a project, Danny reluctantly returns to music, discovering that his drumming has transformed—his rhythms now carrying the raw honesty of his loss in ways that touch others who are suffering.
Through this unexpected creative rebirth, Danny begins to forge connections again, slowly rebuilding his life, he discovers that while his pain will never completely disappear, it can transform into something meaningful that honors the love he continues to carry for Sarah and Emma.
