Confessions of a Blue-Collar Heart

Hey y’all—

Plumber by trade, writer by heart.

Confessions of a Blue-Collar Heart wasn’t planned. One day I just woke up and said, “Screw it—I’m writing a book.” I’ve always had this way of feeling what other people feel. I’ve chased my dreams, listened to my heart, and followed my gut. Somehow, the universe always puts me exactly where I need to be—through the good and the bad. Storytelling just comes natural.

I’ve had this passion for as long as I can remember. Jotting things down here and there—sometimes just a few lines, sometimes page after page. For years, nothing ever sat quite right with my soul. But now that I’ve lived a little more life, the words are finally finding me with a little less resistance.

These stories are short, raw, and real—based on true events, real women, and the kind of moments most men won’t admit out loud. Some of it’s tender. Some of it hurts. All of it’s honest.

I was raised in Mississippi—with Southern manners, strong hands, and a work ethic that runs deep. And while I’ve got a big heart and a soft spot for the right woman… I’m also the kind of man who can flip the script in a heartbeat. Capable of grace and kindness—but just as quick to become the beast who makes you feel safe. Your comfort and happiness become his obsession—whether that means fulfilling a fantasy to the letter, or dropping everything to come rescue you on the side of the road, no questions asked.

Thanks for giving my first book a shot. Hope it hits somewhere deep.
