The legal marijuana industry wasn't quite what I expected. Down and Out in Denver follows my years working inside Colorado's cannabis boom, rolling joints, trimming flower, chasing bonuses, and watching an emerging industry grow up in real time. Along the way are stories of the people, absurdities, successes, and disappointments that rarely make it into the headlines. Part memoir, part field report, this is a look behind the curtain of America's green rush from someone who lived it.

In Sisters Loved and Treasured: Stories of Unbreakable Bonds, award-winning ABC News journalist and New York Times best-selling author Deborah Roberts curates a giftable collection of conversations, meditations, and anecdotes from her own sisters, celebrity friends, and everyday people alike who share deeply personal accounts of how their relationships as sisters shaped their lives.

I’ve spent plenty of time in football parking lots, concert fields, dive bars, bluegrass festivals, and places that probably shouldn’t have existed in the first place. Tailgating in America is a collection of stories from those gatherings and the characters who bring them to life. From Ball State football to Dead & Company, hometown bars to hidden festivals in the hills of Indiana, this essay explores the freedom, community, and controlled chaos that still make America worth showing up for.

Memories and Dreams is a raw reflection on movement, identity, athletics, hard work, and the long road toward meaning. From small-town Indiana basketball gyms and college football to painting rental houses, life in Denver, and the pursuit of a doctorate in education, Robert Cox traces the winding path that followed one impulsive decision to walk away from it all. Blending working-class grit, gonzo reflection, and honest introspection, Memories and Dreams explores regret, mentorship, movement, masculinity, and the strange ways people search for purpose in modern America.

This book doesn’t want your approval. Cutting Wood is a blunt-force meditation on work, discipline, and the weight that shapes a life. Built from chainsaws, smoke, and hard lessons, it cuts straight through the noise of modern comfort. If you’re looking for answers, look somewhere else. If you’re willing to carry something heavier—step in.

A trip into the Grand Canyon turns into something else entirely. Weather shifts. Plans fall apart. Time stretches. Somewhere between the river, the people, and the miles out, control starts to slip—and something more honest takes its place. This is a record of that space.

Engines. Wind. Noise. A place built on movement and the people who keep showing up to it. Set against the backdrop of the 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, this piece moves through the edges: arrival, immersion, and the slow fade when the dust starts to settle. What’s left isn’t a conclusion, it’s a question. Blending observation, experience, and a raw, unfiltered lens, this is not a guide, a history, or a tribute. It’s a dispatch from inside it. No clean endings. No fixed meaning. Just the ride.

Powder Freek is a raw, reflective mountain essay that follows a single day on the slopes — from pre-dawn parking lot rituals to the final descent back into traffic, deadlines, and modern noise. Part gonzo observation, part meditation on movement, and part quiet rebellion against distraction, this short literary work explores what it means to step away long enough to remember how to actually live.

Backwoods Yoga: Finding Union and Self is not a studio manual. It's not a detox plan. It's not about incense, playlists, or pretending life is soft. This is a collection of essays, field notes, and lived experiments in discipline, breath, discomfort, and attention—written from gym floors, basements, campsites, classrooms, and the strange in-between spaces where people actually try to get better.

Expert Ghost Hunters from Haunted Events UK search for life-after death in the notoriously haunted Old Street Market of Sutton Town in historic old England.
