A coming-of-age story of college-bound Miguel Reilly who takes a summer sabbatical in New Mexico that leads to his future intertwining with an Aztec legendary monster.

It is a classic New Adult tale of a middle-class American with tenuous ties to his Irish-American roots who finds kinship in the worlds of the Chicano, Mexican, and Native American peoples. Where young and older women play pivotal roles in his mission.

Death Song of the Dragón Chicxulub is an epic high-adventure of the outrageous bon vivant shaman Tomás who trains apprentice Miguel to defeat the ancient dragon-like nemesis of the Aztecs. A cross-genre YA novel steeped in lives, cultures, environment, and history that few mainstream readers know of or ever entered. A real-world narrative where the background conflict of English/Spanish language worlds mirrors Miguel's search for what his heritage really is and means about his destiny.
