The Neon Owl: Book 1: When the Shit Hits the Van
Summary
Jinx is a record-collecting, middle-aged minimalist whose dreams of becoming a detective are waylaid by love and laziness. But when he inherits his late aunt’s rundown motel, The Neon Owl, his passion for investigative work reignites while he searches for answers as to who keeps shitting in the bushes. His findings lead to a full-blown murder mystery where he and newfound friend, Roddy, the elderly, one-legged handyman, set out to find the killer. A crime noir-ish whodunnit rife with humor, grit, and ranch dressing. "Terrific stuff from Chad Lutzke, who manages to take tired tropes and set them on fire with passion and originality." (Joe R. Lansdale, Champion Mojo Storyteller) “Once again, Lutzke shows his mastery of creating characters that live and breathe far from the page. An intoxicating blend of humor and intrigue. The only reason I paused while racing to the finale was to laugh out loud.” (Robert Ford, co-author of A Penny for Your Thoughts)

Casting Your Troubles into the Grand Canyon
Summary
Is the Grand Canyon big enough to handle all of your worries? I wanted to know that answer, so I walked to the bottom to find out. For years, nature has taught us so many important lessons. The most important may be that we're a part of nature itself. Hiking has a way of bringing us closer to nature. Healing us. Reminding us of what's important and where our priorities are and should be. It makes us feel small, yet a bigger part of the universe around us. In this short memoir, I reflect upon the mental healing that occurred in me through being a part of something much bigger than myself. The trails, the mountains, and the Grand Canyon.
