The Sugar Skull Ghost Thief

Perk is just your normal, everyday average guy. He could do with a little adventure in his life. Yet, all he wants is some down time and a vacation. However, fate and the universe have other plans for him.

On a whim, Perk heads to the mystical town of Old Mesilla, NM to pick up a VW Microbus for his roommate. Little did he know that he was entering into a paranormal vortex of outlandish Mexican folklore and scandalous black market deals. All of which seem to link to a phantasmic nuisance which resembles a beloved relic.

Along the way, he meets the beautiful and dynamic Maya, a young Latina woman with a spicy personality. Everything Perk knows about girls is thrown out of the window with this intoxicating new personality in his life.

Perk may seem average but, beneath the ho-hum façade, the wheels are turning in his head. Will he be able to save Maya and her family’s business from the hauntings that threaten to obliterate it?

The Sugar Skull Ghost Thief is a light and breezy read which, upon reflection, exposes complex themes dealing with our moral natures, respect, superstition, and the continuation of legacy. It is a tale within a tale, peppered with humor and romance. For lovers of sugar skulls and Día de los Muertos, look no further.
