Trilogy Books

Where roots become a guide, and a family becomes a compass.

A Hawks Tale is the story of a life shaped by the Naples hills, a big joyful family, and the everyday moments that quietly build a person’s character. It honors the parents who modeled kindness, the siblings who added color, and the community that taught you what belonging really means.

More than a memoir, it’s an invitation to remember where you come from and celebrate the people who made you who you are. 

If someone wants to understand the father, grandfather, storyteller, and community man known as Tommy2Dogs—this is where the story begins.

The story of a life interrupted — and a purpose awakened.

I’m Not Dead Yet! is the story of the day everything changed—and the decision to keep living louder, braver, and more honestly than ever before. It follows your early cancer journey with humor and grit, capturing the fear before a scan, the quiet victories, the family who walks beside you, and the realization that life doesn’t get smaller after a diagnosis—it gets sharper.

This isn’t just a survivor’s story.

It’s a declaration.

A dare.

A reminder that being alive is something you do.

As the middle book of the trilogy, it marks the turning point where resilience becomes a practice, connection becomes a lifeline, and your voice becomes a way of serving others.
