Hi everyone. Just in case your stocking isn't stuffed. How about stuffing it with some of Key West dark history. In search of the dark penny. Buscando El cilo prieto, as the Cubans conchs called it. Join the conchs of the 70s and 80s as they weave thier tale down the back alleys and back country of Key West and its surrounding waters. This is an adventure that never stops giving. If you love Key West and it's eccentric people, this book is a must.
We were far from normal long before the commercial but that description is honest and us conchs take pride in our adventures spirit that always separated us from the rest of the pack. Come and get a glimpse of the real conchs that made Key West famous the other way. Thier will be no Key lime pie in this book but their will be us in all our dark glory.
You can message me for a signed copy or order through Dorrance, Amazon, Wal Mart, Barnes And Noble or Kindle. From this older conch to everyone, have a great Christmas and we hope to see you all in conch town someday in the near future.

Hi everyone. In my pursuit of promoting my first novel I have had the opportunity to meet some great people and speak at some nostalgic venues. Such as the Key West library. I also got to meet a local artist at his Back Yards Of Key West Art Gallery at the Clinton Square. His name is Mark Baralto and he will be opening up a new studio with a homegrown conch boy by the name of Rafael Medina (Acosta family)
Mark is also a Podcaster and honored me with an interview that can be heard wherever podcasts are available. Pandora, I heart, apple etc. Look up backyards of k.w. podcast and listen in. Thank you once again to my Key West family for making my first novel such a local success story.
P.S. Here is a picture of me at the library that helped grow all of us once young conchs.

Do you want to know how it all went down. Get the book all the Conchs (key westers) are talking about. Join a legendary smuggler as he takes you for an adrenaline filled ride across Oceans to foreign Countries, Listen to the bales as they hit the deck, then bring them home. Home being the treacherous flats and unforgiving reefs of the Keys that can shatter dreams in a second. Home being a young conchs playground. The cuts and hard to find channels etched into their minds like a road map. One man's playground, always another man's puzzle. Learn how they evaded capture, always a target of lawmen trying to compete in the childhood playground of the conchs.
Join the old smuggler as he also leads you down the backroads and back alleys of Key West. Learn what makes conchs tick. Why they always thirst for adventure as they move along the imaginary razor wire fence, between freedom and folly. And between life and death.
"I never considered myself a smuggler. I always thought of myself as an adventurer. Sure, I'll admit it, I was a bad boy...Hell. I've been a bad boy all my life."
His words not mine.
