Books, Blunders & BoozeY Wisdom
You came for the cocktails.
You’ll stay for the chaos, the honesty,
and the stories that hit like a hangover at 2am.
Hi, I’m Scotty Boxa. I write books, burn toast, and turn bad decisions into stories worth reading.
Not an influencer. Not a guru. Just figuring it out (and failing spectacularly).
Who’s this bloke, and why does he have a website?
Who’s Scotty, and why is he telling stories from a van? Good question. I’m a regular guy who got sick of boring routines, so I hit the road, wrote a few books (okay, twelve), and accidentally learned how to make cocktails people actually like.
I’m not here to sell you a dream life. I’m here to share the real stuff, the recipes, the stories, and the little wins that make life taste better.
Books for Humans Who’ve Had Enough of Perfect
These aren’t your grandma’s self-help books (unless she swears like a sailor and enjoys the occasional margarita). From surviving life’s WTF moments to recipes that save camp dinners, my books are equal parts humor, honesty, and a little bit of booze.
Not sure where to start? Grab one that screams ‘you.’

Who the hell is Scotty Boxa?
I’m an author, amateur cocktail wizard, snack enthusiast, and accidental van-life survivor. I write books for humans who are tired, messy, and just trying to keep their ducks in a row (or at least in the same pond).
Where can I buy your books?
Right here on the site or on Amazon. Whether you’re into sarcastic self-help (Hold My Ducks), burnout recovery (The Strong One Is Tired), or cookbooks that swear like your drunk aunt (Cheers Mate), I’ve got you covered. [Explore All Books →]
Do you share free recipes?
Yep. From cocktails that turn awkward parties into fun ones, to snacks that save you from hangry meltdowns. Check the [Recipe Hub] for the good stuff.
What’s with all the ducks?
Long story short: I wanted to write a book called Hold My F**s*, turns out bookstores hate that word. So, ducks became my stand-in swear word. And now it’s a whole thing.
