What do you get when you mix tequila, raw oysters, online dating—and a pencil fish with boundary issues?

Newly separated and wide-eyed, Shawna dives into the wild waters of Plenty of Fish and ends up on a romantic getaway to Mexico with a charming stranger named “Roy.” What starts as a steamy vacation quickly unravels into a tropical tale of digestive disaster, dick-biting fish, and one man’s desperate attempt to avoid public pool infamy.

Hilarious, unfiltered, and painfully relatable, this...

A haunting tale of survival, grief, and renewal—told through the eyes of a lone barn owl.

After losing her mate and young to a devastating flood on the Sumas plains, one resilient huntress takes to the night skies in search of food—and meaning. As she mourns, adapts, and flies over the ruined human world, she bears witness to nature’s pain and quiet fury. But when a new call echoes from the shadows, she learns that even in great loss, life finds a way to begin again.

(TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENCE, EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, 18+)

Based on a true story of grief, vengeance, and justice beyond the law.

When her son is brutally attacked on the night of his high school graduation, one mother unleashes an ancient power buried deep in her bloodline. As the man responsible sits smugly in jail, he begins to experience excruciating visions—and tattoos that carve themselves into his flesh.

Some pain goes beyond prison. Some justice, beyond this world.

As a freelance writer, I’ve been journaling for most of my life. Since I can’t afford therapy, I’m sure you can imagine how many journals I have poured my heart and soul into over the years.

While the benefits...

Whether you are in an exciting new relationship or rounding out a decade with the one you love, it can be really hard not to take it to heart when the most significant person in your life says something that rubs you the wrong way.

Maybe they triggered an insecurity by not returning your text soon enough or maybe they helpfully shouted out, “Hey hun, that Sono bello commercial is on again! Do you want their number?”

Whatever the case may be we all have trigger points and when our guard is down...

We all have noticed that woman.

There’s just something unique about her. She’s confident, charming, happy – She feels real. She loves who she is, and shines it.

Wherever she goes it’s like the French doors on a musty room have been flung open wide and a sweet, ocean breeze has been invited in.

Everyone wants to know her. Everyone wants to be around her. We all want to be her.

When she walks by, you think, I’ll have what she’s having!

So, how does she do it?
