about me

Enjoying life in the high desert below the Sangre de Cristo mountains in Taos, New Mexico. I try to find time to play golf, teach golf, fish, write books, go for a hike, set up camp, jump on the mountain bike, kayak, and check out a good band every so often. What else is there?

If I Lose the Light

G.S. Valdez II

A twenty something male deals with old friends and humbling realizations. A wise old woman's prediction sends him spiraling into darkness.


Aidan Grey has a lot on his plate. Dealing with old friends, refusing to grow up, a streak of unsatisfactory women, and finding a place for himself in this cruel world. Not to mention processing his own thoughts.

Tequila binges, all-nighters, and a fledgling rock band fill his days and nights, distracting him from the pain of his "minuscule existence".

Until one day when he follows a strange child into a tattered project, the mouse to his cat.

There he stumbles upon Rose-Marie Toussaint, a peculiar and wise old woman who seems to know more about Aidan than he knows of himself. When she makes a prediction about Aidan's future, things begin to spiral out of control. What does the broken bone from the wing of the bird mean? Could this girl lead him back to the light as he pursues her truth?

Ali, thanks for reading. You're right, I definitely have to break up those paragraphs. I noticed that the other night when I was reading it on this site. Uploading to this site really does mess with the formatting quite a bit. Thanks for the other edits and idea's as well, very much appreciated.... view book

You were the nail in the coffin for the "Fuck Rant" : ) I made it chapter 7. just to keep my word count up but it has officially been cut. I see what you're saying about the character study but I need an example of a tension-building hint. I like the idea, foreshadowing and all, just having trou... view book

Thanks for the constructive words. Always appreciated. Made some updates, would love to hear what you have to say about them. The opening rant will be relocated when I can break it down and figure out its place, if there is one, in the story. Can't wait to read more of your stuff. view book

Leo! My man! Best advice I've gotten in a long time! Amazing what others see that I don't, blows me away sometimes. Did some serious rewrites. I would love to hear what you think. Believe it or not I actually uploaded some stuff that didn't belong there initially. view book
