A queer Gulf-Coast odyssey—fully illustrated in rich, full color—where punk songs, saints, disco ghosts, and mythic archetypes collide on Galveston Island.



On a humid Saturday night at the MOD Coffeehouse, Amy promises herself she’s only going to listen. Not fall. Not leap. Not get pulled under by the gravity of Lena—dark curls, sea-glass eyes, a voice like a velvet razor, and a text that reads like a spell: Wear something dangerous.



But Galveston isn’t a city that lets you stay on the surface.



As music turns into invocation and open-mic poetry becomes prophecy, Amy’s life knots itself to a crew of unforgettable misfits and guardians: Jon Alex—campy, brilliant, and loyal as a mast in a storm; neighbors who know how to show up when the world won’t; elders whose stories are living scripture; and strangers who arrive like trouble and leave like family. The island’s porches, dive bars, hospitals, and sanctuaries begin to feel less like places and more like chapters in an ancient epic—one that keeps rewriting itself in neon, salt fog, and second chances.



SIRENS is a modern, Gulf-soaked myth: part queer found-family saga, part Southern gothic comedy, part love story to a haunted city where history isn’t past—it’s present, singing harmony.



What you’ll find inside:

• A contemporary mythic structure (sirens, Ithaca, swineherds, philosopher-kings) braided into a fiercely modern story

• Queer community across generations—desire, devotion, chosen kin, and the cost of survival

• Galveston rendered with brutal tenderness: jasmine and mildew, seawall prayer, low-tide funk, expensive coffee, and storms that never really leave

• Sharp wit + deep feeling: satire and heartache in the same breath

• Music as time machine: post-punk, disco, barroom anthems—soundtracks that open doors



Fully Illustrated Edition (Kindle)

This Kindle edition is lavishly illustrated: every chapter is accompanied by a full-color illustration that expands the world on the page—bringing the coffeehouse heat, the Gulf’s eerie glow, the sacred gatherings, and the island’s nightlife to vivid life.



Note: Full-color illustrations display in color on compatible Kindle apps/devices; some e-ink Kindles may show images in grayscale.

Queer magical realism • literary voice with bite • Southern coastal gothic • found family • myth retellings with modern nerve • books that blur the line between the living and the dead Ficción Literaria Género Ficción Visionaria y Metafísica
