About Maddie Blue

About the Author

He is a former building tradesman who spent over three decades helping shape the iconic Las Vegas Strip. After retiring from a successful 32-year career in construction, he sought solace in the quiet beauty of the mountains, where he planned to live a peaceful and simple life. However, everything changed with the heartbreaking loss of his wife—a moment that led him to rediscover his two greatest passions: music and nature..

Turning pain into purpose, He began learning guitar, immersing himself in music that resonated with his soul. Inspired, he started writing songs—eventually penning over 40 heartfelt compositions. His journey took an unexpected turn when he rescued a remarkable border collie named Maddy, who would go on to become his closest companion, his service dog, and the heart of a deeply personal musical journey.

About Hillbilly Tales

This book knocked the wind out of me, in the best way. Maddie Blue writes with the kind of honesty that makes you pause mid-sentence and say, “Damn.” Every poem feels like it was sung from a front porch or scrawled on a diner napkin after midnight.

I’ve never read poetry that made me feel so seen. I’m talking heartbreak, addiction, lust, loneliness, the real stuff. Maddie doesn’t sugarcoat a damn thing, and that’s what makes Hillbilly Tales hit hard. It’s not flowery or pretentious. It’s gut-level truth. I saw myself in these pages more than I ever expected to.

Some poems made me laugh, some made me cry, and some made me want to text my ex (don’t worry, I didn’t). The way Maddie writes about sex is bold and unapologetic, but never trashy. It’s intimate, raw, and human. I didn’t know poetry could feel this alive.

I don’t usually read poetry, but a buddy recommended this. I cracked it open one night and couldn’t put it down. The rhythm, the pain, the way every word feels like it matters, man, this book doesn’t whisper, it howls. Maddie Blue writes like he’s got nothing to lose and everything to say.

Don’t let the title fool you, this isn’t just for folks down South. These poems are universal. Love, loss, addiction, healing, rebellion, it’s all here, written with grit and heart. Maddie’s voice is loud, clear, and impossible to ignore. I’ll be rereading this one for years.
