January's Wolf Moon completes a year of reflection. After layoff, hunger, and survival, what remains is the part of me that makes things. Hungry and surviving.

A reader says "they should just talk!" But in some books, that inability to communicate is the story itself.

Before I mark these emails as spam, I pause to savor the flattery.

I used to love fantasy escapism. Now I want romance that honors my fifty-year-old body and makes me believe desire is still possible.

When the river rises, a dam needs release points or it breaks. Under November's Beaver Moon, I learn this lesson the hard way, and discover asking for help isn't failure.

Under the Harvest Moon, I resize my work to a human pace and let others help, and the night grows lighter when I stop carrying it alone.

Romance promises butterflies, women’s fiction promises depth. Some stories give us both. Here’s how to choose the book that fits your mood tonight.

September’s Corn Moon rises over the river, heavy with harvest. Nets full of choices pull at once, but only one can be hauled aboard.

Romance novels offer more than escape. They provide comfort, connection, and a radical form of hope.

The full Sturgeon Moon calls me to the river, to patience, and to the rare catch: a fish, a job, or a dream taking shape.
