A visual memoir told through poems, artwork, and photography. Desert Lines traces the storms, lessons, and quiet moments that shaped a life in the Southwest. Each page carries a piece of the climb — the words, the drawings, and the witness of the land that helped rebuild the man.
The Outlaw and the Angel is a memoir about a man on the run, a childhood crush turned lifeline, and the jailhouse crack in the wall that delivered a truth he wasn’t ready for. It’s a story of love that never was, hope that shouldn’t have been, and the moment a ghost walked out of prison in a living man’s body. Raw, direct, and unfiltered, this book traces the spiral, the illusion that kept him alive, and the truth Wendell Englehart never told until now.
Set in the high desert of the Four Corners, The Desert Outlaw follows a young man drawn toward a story that won’t let him go. What begins as curiosity becomes an initiation into instinct, legacy, and the unspoken rules carried by the men who came before him. It’s a memoir carved from real dirt and real consequences — a story of fathers and sons, of the men who raised us and the men we become when the old rules stop working.
This brief memoir traces the burial and resurrection of an artist who spent years silencing his gift beneath labor, survival, and a life that wasn’t his. From childhood beatings to the first moment a drawing stopped a room, from rebuilding ancient pottery as a boy to rebuilding himself behind razor wire, this is the story of a talent that refused to die. In the quiet of a jail cell, with nothing but paper and time, the buried artist clawed his way back line by line, shadow by shadow, truth by truth.
Hinge is a raw memoir about fathers, sons, and the long shadow of the men who came before us. Set against the rugged Southwest, it traces the fractures and alignments of a life shaped by hardship, addiction, recovery, and the quiet rituals that hold a family together. Through memory and myth, truth and survival, it follows the long climb toward becoming the man you needed when you were young.
T‑25 to Life is the raw, unfiltered story of a drywaller who built a booming life and then burned it down through addiction, chaos, and a fuse he lit with both hands. From stolen trucks and blackout nights to marshals in the driveway and a hundred‑year sentence hanging over him, this memoir follows the wildfire that led to a tiny T‑25 bit — a piece of metal that carried him from county jail to territorial prison and into the moment that changed everything. Along the way are the people who shaped him: Larry, the outlaw angel; Jeff, the fire‑hearted brother; Jimmy, the loyal friend; three wolves; and Hunter, the son who became the reason to rise again. It’s a story of wreckage, redemption, outlaw wisdom, and the strange timing that helps a man become who he was meant to be.
