At the heart of this site is a mission to rediscover the lost art of original thinking and authentic living. Blending humor, wit, philosophy, and adventure, Author Known (and his eclectic cast of characters like Sasquatch, Waldo, and the mythical Squaldo) will challenge the noise, monotony, and superficial clutter of modern life.

Life is weirdly complicated. You find yourself coming to detest and abhor a thing—only to indulge in it later. Like HOAs and sex. At first, the education and training may be painful, until you find purposeful delight. Delight that comes through continued experiences. The pain transforms into treasurous pleasure, then you defend what you first hated. Now you’re its best soldier. Stamped. On a t-shirt or a deodorant stick plastic. Stockholm syndrome. Go figure. There’s already a word for it. Of course! Nothing new under the sun again. Is there anything new under the sun? Something that has never existed—that

The Squaldo Manifesto: Patent Pending is Author Known’s wild, satirical declaration of creative independence—a fierce stand against the corporate stranglehold on imagination. This isn’t just a rebellion. It’s a return to sovereign creation, where tools are tools, and expression needs no permission.
Well, this has been an interesting weekend. It’s an Easter weekend reunion—of all days. Four-twenty-2025. Easter Sunday. Yeah, imagine that. 420 and Easter weekend. Not necessary a “risen” I was expecting, buuut it’s me, writing these words like an unfiltered, 7-year-old Sasquatch boy. I love that kid so much! This post is about how a truck breakdown led me to a 25-Year reunion on Easter weekend. Anyway, I’m in Montgomery, Alabama. I’m here because, well, I wasn’t supposed to be—but I am. You see, I was home after long months of trucking and wanted to enjoy at least ten days

Imagination: The First Step to Disconnection Imagination. As I contemplate disengaging and disconnecting from the entire social setting (not just social media), I am becoming aware of attributes attached to it. And the fears. This note is about disembedding myself from an entire identity web spun so tight around me, it started breathing for me. My social sphere entails a lot. Just like everyone else, I, too, am here riding along onside the Great-Grand Mother Earth Ship soaring through the heavenly cosmos. Sounds like a song, I know, Lose My Minds Playground. This place is a vast place, connected today

A Glitch Revealed How the hell can someone be fully asleep and consciously wide awake at the same time? It’s like anesthetic knocking out someone’s body yet they fully see and feel what is going on at the same time. It’s like being dead and alive at the exact same time! It seems like blatant consciousness glitch without coordinates and a rebel awareness. I would clarify that as a glitch in the matrix and a glitch in the mirror. Is that a thing? Am I crazy? Or is my entire mind, body, and soul glitching?! Heaven forbid I tell this

The military has jargon—terminal leave, short-timer’s syndrome, pre-deployment grief. But none of those phrases capture the moment your closest friend walks away toward a gate, not daring to turn around. You feel his ribcage tense. Yours caves in. That’s not just loss. That’s psychological trauma from saying goodbye when no one gives you the tools to do it.

After 25 years of building masterpieces behind closed doors, I had to stop creating with my hands—and started crafting with my mind. This is the story of how a master cabinetmaker became a writer, turning sawdust into storylines and rediscovering creativity in a whole new form.

I published my first book in just 4 days using the 7-Day Author Challenge. It started with a sketch, a vision, and a $27.4 million check made out to belief. Years of creativity, blogging, and dreaming suddenly fused into action—and now I'm Author Known. This isn't a beginning. It's ignition.

He didn’t steal. He didn’t lie. He just took a sip. And in that moment, I remembered what it means to be human.
