Tales of Dade County: A Dade County Hotel Series Hardcover – November 24, 2025

Tales of Dade County is part diary, part gospel, part cinematic hangover — a collection of stories, monologues, and fragments written between downtown nights and hungover mornings. It’s Miami seen through the lens of love, loss, and the quiet poetry of surviving your own mistakes.The book mixes raw confessional writing with surreal humor and rhythm — the tone shifts like weather in a hurricane city. Some parts read like short films, others like notes you’d find crumpled in the backseat of a car after a long night. Every page is haunted by memory — but never drowned by it.Alongside the writing, the book includes hand-drawn illustrations that bleed emotion into every chapter — sketches that don’t just decorate the stories, but expand them. The art feels like cigarette smoke trapped in paper: fleeting, imperfect, and real.It’s a book about nostalgia that refuses to be sentimental. About the people you love, the ones you lose, and the version of yourself that survives both.This isn’t a redemption arc. It’s a postcard from the emotional border between pain and clarity. Read more
