  • A Writer’s Reflection

    post by: Ava Reiss Anyone who’s sat down to write know there are a multitudes of difficulties. Writer’s block. Can’t find the right words. Finding time to write. Loving your stuff one day and hating it the next. I always feel bonded to other writers in solidarity over these things. I had started writing my…

  • Tumbling

    post by Ticana Zhu I was like a tumbleweed. A Rose of Jericho, blowing in the wind.I’d land for a bit. Spread my leaves and turn green.Until the water fades.Then I’d wrap up my little selfand tumble, tumble away. I wonder, then, if I could choose the wind?So meticulous I’d be, which way to drift.Until…

  • Diversity in Books

    post by: Ava Reiss Last month, I chanced upon an NPR broadcast of a panel discussing the novel, “American Dirt.” They addressed the way minority groups are handled by authors who are not of that background.

  • Time as the 4th Dimension

  • Powerful Women

    post by: Ava Reiss I’ve been reflecting on an experience I had vending. Some of you might now, this has been a promotional year for me. I’ve been setting up tables at local events to get my book and artwork out there. I’m also editing and writing, of course, but with lots of planned breaks…

  • Karma

    post by: Ticana Zhu At the end of August, I got into a fender bender. Everyone walked away from it. I was upset but it was my dream car. I had waited fifteen years before I got it and I’d only owned it a year and a half. … And it hadn’t been an easy…

  • “Through the Rainbow”

    short story by: Ava Reiss (This story is temporarily unavailable. Thank you for your patience.) ~*~ The End ~*~ Author’s Commentary: I’m often fascinated by stories of immortals, and realms outside our own. One of my favorite tropes is having deities come into our world. Iris is a goddess I’m particularly fascinated with. Mostly because…

  • Loganberries

    post by: Ticana Zhu A short update today. I’m neck deep in edits and as well as … you know… #life. Dynasty of Summer is progressing well. I finally finished editing draft six. It feels like it’s almost there… Oh yeah, haha, renaming Colors of an Empire to Dynasty of Summer. The main character sees…
