edit data

A long-time Juarez resident and author, Guillermo Paxton unknowingly put his life and his family in imminent danger while doing research for THE PLAZA. After investigating a massacre at a local bar, the federal police abducted him. Paxton and his family were threatened in no uncertain terms. After relocating to his country of origin, the United States, Paxton was able to seek publishing for his book with less fear of direct retribution from either the Mexican government or drug cartels.

Paxton's background is in the military and law enforcement and he has extensive knowledge and experience with the Mexican Mafia. Paxton lives in Fort Worth, Texas, but spends time in Socorro, New Mexico, Las Vegas, Nevada, and various parts of Mexico. ...more

How To Be Happy

Wow, it has been a long time since I've posted. I've been on a journey for the last several years and would love to share all of the amazing secrets to success and happiness that I have come across.

I wrote "How To Be Happy" to share with others some of the knowledge that I have accumulated and give back.

Tried my hand at an erotic thriller. Check out Wilted Lily, available on Amazon.

Hello Goodreads friends. A portion of every copy of THE PLAZA sold will be donated to an ophanage in Juarez, Mexico. Thousands of orphans have been left in the wake of the drug war in Mexico, and I'd like to give something back to them. Help me help them by buying THE PLAZA and by sharing it with your friends. The reviews are for the most part very good. This book is gritty and violent; it is based on all real events. It was at times very hard to write, but was even harder to live, and I realize that it is not for everyone. But if you as a reader enjoy gritty, dark reads, buy a Kindle, Nook or paperback copy and know that you will be doing some good with it as well.
