Rob Lezcano

Published Author - Songwriter

Rob Lezcano is an author, songwriter, and the creative force behind That Beach Sound Cartel. His work blends memory, mythology, humor, heartbreak, and the thin line between the ordinary world and the impossible one hiding beneath it.

Raised in South Florida, Rob draws heavily from Miami’s Cuban-American culture, California surf imagery, country storytelling, family history, and a lifetime of experiences that sometimes sound too strange to be true.

His memoir, Sunflower Yellow – Memories of a Latin Lover, is a raw, humorous, and deeply personal coming-of-age story about youth, desire, mistakes, and the memories that refuse to disappear. His fiction ranges from the myth-driven adventures of Hula Girl and Hula Girl 2 – Tears of Pearls to the supernatural Western The Devil’s Bull Rider – Boone McBride, the speculative mystery of The Island, and the warmth, humor, and Irish magic of O’Dooly’s Pub & Church.

Many of Rob’s stories continue beyond the printed page through the music of That Beach Sound Cartel. His songs combine coastal Americana, surf rock, country soul, Afro-Cuban rhythm, tropical influences, and old-fashioned character-driven storytelling. Some songs are inspired by his books and memoirs; others come from true events, forgotten characters, history, or simply playing with an irresistible lyrical idea.

Rob writes and organizes his books and lyrics using Reedsy Studio, a remarkably accessible writing application that he recommends to other independent writers. The core writing tools are free, and Rob has used the platform to develop his novels, memoir, and growing song catalog.

For Rob, every project begins with a question worth chasing, and a damn good story waiting to be told.

The Devil's Bull Rider - Boone McBride

Boone McBride was a cowboy with nothing, until the day he met a stranger riding a massive white bull in the Arizona badlands.
Broken, bleeding, and desperate in 1897, Boone made a deal that changed everything. Fame in the rodeo arena. Land of his own. Wealth enough to build the McBride Ranch from dust and dreams. All of it came from one cursed gold buckle, and the promise he made to the man in black.
But greatness always demands payment.
As Boone rises from ranch hand to rodeo legend, tragedy follows close behind. Children are lost. Shadows grow longer. And the cost of his bargain becomes impossible to ignore.
Generations later, his great-great-grandson Cash McBride is chasing his own future in the rodeo arena, trying to save the family ranch and build a life of his own.
But some legacies do not stay buried, and some debts are passed down like blood.
Because the devil never forgets a deal.
And when the past comes riding back, it never comes alone.

The Devil’s Bull Rider - Boone Mcbride is a gritty supernatural western about family, legacy, sacrifice, and the terrifying price of greatness, where every ride may be your last, and every victory comes with a soul attached.

Hula Girl 2 - Tears of Pearls

Beneath the waters of the South China Sea lies a secret older than empires.

While continuing to learn the deeper meaning of Aloha through the ancient scroll left to him, Tommy Tanner and his dashboard Hula Girl, LaʻKa, discover something unexpected on the beach behind his Oceanside home, a wounded woman washed ashore by the tide.

But she is no ordinary woman.

She is one of the JiaoRén, a legendary Asian mermaid whose tears transform into priceless pearls.

Through her story, Tommy learns a terrible truth: deep beneath the waters of the South China Sea, the JiaoRén are being captured and tortured by pirates seeking their magical tears. The pearls they produce have become one of the most valuable treasures in the world.

Together with LaʻKa and the ancient Protectors of Aloha, Tommy sets out on a daring mission across the Pacific. What follows is a magical and dangerous journey that leads them into hidden ocean caverns, pirate strongholds, and a battle against a ruthless captain known only as The Butcher.

To save the JiaoRén and restore balance to the ocean, Tommy and his friends must confront forces far older, and far darker, than they ever imagined.

Because some treasures were never meant to be taken.

The Island

Somewhere in the heart of the Devil’s Triangle, a secret world thrives. Hidden from history, built by visionaries, and inhabited by legends — The Island is a place where those who were thought to be dead are very much alive. Einstein. Disney. Marley. Their stories didn’t end… they were rewritten.

James Jones, an investigative journalist grappling with the loss of his brother, receives a mysterious lead. His search for the truth takes him on a journey through shadowy governments, ghost ships, and forgotten technologies, until he finds himself face-to-face with a paradise that was never meant to be discovered.

But The Island is not what it seems. There are rules. There are consequences. And once you arrive, there may be no going back.

At once thrilling, emotional, and deeply original, The Island is a page-turning speculative adventure, a story about legacy, reinvention, and the cost of living forever.

Sunflower Yellow - Memories of a Latin Lover

A true story of love, loss, and the beautiful mess in between.

From sun-soaked streets in 1970s Miami to the turbulent path of early adulthood, Sunflower Yellow is the unforgettable memoir of a boy growing up with too much heart and not enough direction. Rob’s story is filled with first loves, locker room confessions, broken rules, and moments that define a lifetime, all told with raw honesty, humor, and the kind of nostalgia that stings a little.

But at its core, this is a love story, for his mother, for the girls who shaped him, and for the boy he used to be.

Set against the backdrop of a changing America, Sunflower Yellow is not just a coming-of-age story. It’s a coming-to-terms story, with grief, with guilt, and with what it means to truly grow up.

If you’ve ever loved hard, lost deeply, or wished you could go back... this book is for you.

O'Dooly's - Pub & Church

Welcome to the only place in Ireland where you can sip a stout and save your soul.

Since 1870, O’Dooly’s Pub & Church has stood at the edge of Fisher Street in Doolin, Clare County, Ireland.
One building, one door, two eternal purposes.
On the left side of the room, a warm pub, full of music, stories, and the best pour in County Clare.
On the right: a humble church with stained glass and stubborn grace.
And just behind the bar, nestled between aged whiskey and imported gin, you’ll find the confessionals, carved alcoves in the wall of alcohol, where sins are shared as quietly as secrets and forgiven with a nod and maybe a nip.

Generations of the O’Dooly family have served this sacred and slightly sacrilegious space, pouring pints, offering blessings, and keeping the peace between the pulpit and the pint glass. And somewhere in the mix, a leprechaun named Laffy has been causing holy hell for over a century.

Told with heart, humor, and a splash of irreverence, this magical realist novel blends Irish family saga, religious satire, and Celtic folklore into one unforgettable tale. You’ll meet priests who pour whiskey, barkeeps who offer grace, and villagers who know the line between heaven and hangover is thinner than a communion wafer.

If you love The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window, An Irish Country Doctor, or Good Omens, pull up a stool, or kneel, if you must.

O’Dooly’s Pub & Church is a literary toast to tradition, rebellion, and the holy art of carrying on.
