Running with Chickens
From software engineer to permaculture farmer? A witty and charming exploration of the disillusionment (some might say enlightenment) that drove a monumental life change. Explore the thoughts from the irreverent mind of a Silicon Valley coder-guy that decided to get off the hamster wheel, buy property in Costa Rica and turn it into a farm. He has some advice:
“When you hit your late twenties, you will likely go through the typical five stages of leaving your twenties all of which include various manifestations along the anxiety continuum: 1 – Denial, alcohol, and gaming; 2 – Anger, getting high on weed, alcohol, and gaming; 3 – Bargaining and travel to Peru to live simply and take ayahuasca; 4 – Introspection and discovering shrooms; 5 – Reluctant outward acceptance and denial resulting in assorted anxiety disorders. With that, you are an adult. Have a nice day.”

Travel Like A Girl
In 2014 I took a road trip alone in an RV. I was on the road around the US for nearly two years. Doing it alone was a choice and a good one. I had absolutely zero experience with trailers and towing. In this book I take you through my experience from start to finish from the interior adjustments I made, learning to back up, black tanks, wifi issues, stories from the road, and more. I have a feeling when you’re done reading this book, you’re going to want to do it too.
Coming December 2024!

Interviewer: Are these true stories cuz, they seem a bit, um… out there?
Skylar: I call it creative non-fiction, which in my definition is kind of like the lovechild movie mashup of a Downton Abbey, Crazy, Stupid, Love (without that stupid final scene), and Arrested Development—it’s factual, but turns incidents into intrigue. And I would like to thank the real people (although names have been changed) portrayed in this book for making my life interesting. I recognize that their memories of the events may be different than my own.
Interviewer: Do you actually drink tequila?
Skylar: Actually, yes I do. Well, I used to drink a lot of tequila and I also fake smoked. Now I mostly have stories from those days.
Interviewer: Do you have a favorite tequila?
Coming 2025
"The Art of the Arm" is a unique exploration of human anatomy and artistic expression. This unique book showcases a collection of stunning illustrations, each focusing on the human arm in ways you've never imagined. From realistic renderings to abstract interpretations. Why am I writing such a book? Because at the beginning of the pandemic I fell off a ladder doing an art project and had a catastrophic elbow-arm injury. I was pretty mad for three years. Decided to make the best of it.
Killin' Time in California
I grew up with the surf culture in Southern California (Orange County) and hung out on the beach quite a bit. I got to know a lot of the locals and was asked to do an anthology of stories. This was published many years ago but it's no longer in circulation. We had a bit of a problem with the title because no one was actually killed! It truly was about killing time--wasting time. Although if you ask any surfer, they didn't waste any time.
He Bought a Farm in Costa Rica
This was a photo journal for a man who left California to buy a farm in Costa Rica. It was done as a keepsake for him, his friends, and the many people that supported and accompanied him on the journey. I was among that group that was there for 3 months and I will be posting some stories about this journey on my Medium page.
