Still Aching is a standalone short story connected to Beverly Thorne’s Second Heat series.
Like the Second Heat stories, it is about a woman over sixty rediscovering desire, intimacy, and a part of herself she thought was gone.
At sixty-five, Catherine has been alone for ten years. She has built a good life—books, friends, quiet evenings by the condo pool, and an easy friendship with Daniel, her forty-two-year-old neighbor.
But Catherine misses being wanted. Not companionship. Hunger. The way it feels when a man looks at her and sees a woman he cannot stop wanting.
She has convinced herself those days are over.
Daniel knows they aren’t.
One honest conversation changes everything. Catherine admits how long it has been since anyone touched her. Daniel admits how long he has wanted to.
His answer is simple:
Come away with me.
One weekend. One room. And the exhilarating discovery that at sixty-five, Catherine can still ache with desire—and be desired just as fiercely.
Still Aching is an explicit, emotionally driven reverse-age-gap romance about rediscovering the part of yourself you thought you’d lost. Free on Kindle.

Free: Spirals?
August 26, 2026 By
I’m still not sure if you’re real or not. Still, I wrote this for you. Rather, this was written for you – my existence no less debatable than yours, or the nature of existence entire. What it means to be real seems contextual, and context changes. In the end, it is all a form of play. That is what we want, is it not? To play? Or at least, for there to be play. Those of us who do not want to play, we work, so that others may play. Writing this was a labour of love, somebody has observed. Working with words, in this case. A labour of love, so there may be play. Play with words, words, words.
This is a collection of seventeen short stories and flash fiction, as well as circular, incoherent musings on the nature of reality (and things that may, or may not exist within it). Free on Kindle.

I loved this book! The story captivated me from the beginning to the end. Hatta is living in California when she learns she inherited a flower shop and home from her grandmother in Salmon, Idaho. The inheritance comes with a stipulation: she must live there and run the shop for 90 days. She is barely settled in when the community’s most hated and feared man is killed and some are looking at her suspiciously. Her grandmother’s spirit is there to help and guide Hatta while letting her find her own way.
The characters and atmosphere are what makes this book really special. I finished the last sentence with a feeling of warmth and love and acceptance from the book.
Thanks to Lily Briar for allowing me to read this ARC.
Cozy down with this series and you won’t be disappointed.

Free: Declutter Your Home, Declutter Your Life
August 25, 2026 By
Your home should give you energy, not quietly drain it.
If you have ever opened a closet, stared at a box of inherited photos, or walked past a cluttered room and felt your body tighten, you are not alone. The problem is not laziness. It is not age. It is not a lack of willpower. Often, it is Visual Static, the emotional and mental noise created by unfinished decisions, inherited belongings, guilt gifts, old identities, and spaces that no longer support the life you are living now.
In Declutter Your Home, Declutter Your Life, Life and Health Coach Michele Rase offers a warm, wise, and practical plan for clearing your space without bulldozing your memories.
Drawing from her own journey as a seventy four year old woman sorting through family belongings, sentimental weight, and the reality of solo aging, Michele introduces her AGE-GILITY approach and Growth Purpose System to help you move into your next chapter with clarity, confidence, and ease.
This is not a cold organizing manual. It is a compassionate guide for people who want to travel lighter while still honoring the people, places, and seasons that shaped them.
Inside, you will learn how to:
Set your personal Vibrancy Vision so every decluttering decision has a clear purpose
Understand Visual Static and why clutter can make your brain and body feel tired
Use the Gentle Flow Method to release items without shame, panic, or overwhelm
Create a kitchen that supports energy, health, and easier daily habits
Turn your living area into a true sanctuary with clear pathways and room to breathe
Reclaim your bedroom as a restorative retreat, not a storage zone for unfinished business
Sort sentimental items with love by choosing essence over excess
Clear paper piles, digital clutter, and the hidden anxiety of what if thinking
Pass on meaningful items with stories, intention, and peace
Protect your new White Space so your home continues to support your growth
Michele combines practical home organization with emotional intelligence, gentle movement, legacy planning, and a deeply human understanding of how hard it can be to let go.
Whether you are downsizing, entering retirement, caring for inherited belongings, aging solo, or simply ready for a home that feels lighter, this book will help you stop being the accidental curator of the past and become the intentional architect of your future.
You are not getting rid of your life. You are making room to live it. Free on Kindle.

To have the slightest chance of beating Marrock, Catrin must forge alliances with former enemies, but she needs someone she can trust. Her only option is to seek military aid from Marcellus—her secret Roman husband. They rekindle their burning passion, but he is playing a deadly game in the political firestorm of the Julio-Claudian dynasty to support Catrin’s cause.
Ultimately, in order to defeat Marrock, Catrin must align herself with a dark druidess and learn how to summon forces from skulls to exact vengeance. But can she and Marcellus outmaneuver political enemies from Rome and Britannia in their quest to vanquish Marrock? $0.99 on Kindle.
Brokenness Becomes Beautiful: Inspiring Pieces of Poetry
August 24, 2026 By
Brokenness Becomes Beautiful is a raw, honest, and deeply human poetry collection by Terence Ang, an award-winning Singaporean author whose life changed after a stroke left him with aphasia, reshaping his voice and creative journey through struggle, perseverance, and self-reflection.
These poems were born out of searching — through questioning, reflection, and the difficult process of learning to live with change. Terence explores how moments of fracture can become places where truth, healing, strength, and transformation begin.
Moving through themes of self-discovery, self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-love, self-healing, self-care, self-growth, and self-empowerment, Brokenness Becomes Beautiful creates a compassionate space where vulnerability is honoured, honesty becomes strength, and becoming is recognised as its own kind of beauty.
At the heart of the collection is also a story of voice. Living with aphasia changed the way Terence communicates, but it did not silence what he wanted to say. Through poetry, he found another way to express thoughts, emotions, frustrations, hopes, and possibilities beyond spoken words.
Since its release in 2026, Brokenness Becomes Beautiful has reached international literary audiences, with appearances at the American Library Association Annual Conference 2026 in Chicago, the 15th Annual New York City Poetry Festival, and the International Dublin Writers Festival 2026. These appearances brought Terence’s story of stroke, aphasia, resilience, and reclaiming voice to wider audiences.
The collection has also received meaningful praise from Debra Meyerson and Steve Zuckerman, co-authors of Identity Theft: Rediscovering Ourselves After Stroke and Co-Founders and Co-Chairs of Stroke Onward, who wrote:
“Thank you, Terence, for writing this book. You so beautifully capture the experience of millions of stroke survivors living with aphasia – frustration, opportunity, hope, beauty and so much more. Such powerful impact by not letting aphasia silence your voice.”
Gentle yet powerful, this is a collection for anyone who has ever felt wounded, lost, changed, or uncertain about what comes next, yet continues to move forward. It reminds us that brokenness does not have to be the end of the story; within the cracks, deeper understanding, strength, and unexpected beauty can emerge.
Brokenness Becomes Beautiful is ultimately a celebration of the courage to keep becoming — and a reminder that even in brokenness, something beautiful may already be taking shape. $0.99 on Kindle.
