Hello again everyone. It's Tom aka the Stickboy behind Stickboy Coffee. In my fourth novel, The Current Takes All, I move away from comedy and into the shadows, exploring crime, morality, and the quiet violence that often lurks beneath everyday American life.
Set along the St. Lawrence River in Upstate New York, the novel follows ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances, where choices linger, consequences compound, and justice is rarely as simple as it seems.
Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Thousand Islands region and the communities that call it home, I explore themes of isolation, loyalty, addiction, redemption, and the fragile line between survival and wrongdoing. Rather than relying on spectacle, I let the tension emerge through the characters themselves, their decisions, their struggles, and the secrets they carry.
At its heart, The Current Takes All is a story about what happens when desperation collides with opportunity, and how a single choice can change the course of a life forever.

Be sure to check out my other books:
In my first novel, Humor and Madness, readers are dropped headfirst into a world where reality is negotiable, sanity is a rumor, and the craziest people in the room often make the most sense. Through eccentric characters, outrageous situations, and a healthy dose of absurdity, Humor and Madness explores the strange intersection where comedy, chaos, and truth collide.

In my second novel, Our Life: Family Dinner is a hilarious, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt love letter to dysfunctional families everywhere. It follows a family held together by sarcasm, duct tape, stubbornness, and the raw, unspoken power of Sunday dinner.
In my third novel, The Watchmaker, I focused on creating richly atmospheric settings, complex characters, and relentless pacing designed to keep readers turning pages late into the night. As the mystery deepens and the clock continues to tick, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur. If you enjoy thrillers filled with suspense, twists, and international intrigue, The Watchmaker may be the book for you.
