She tells herself it was the right decision, that some things can't be undone and are better left behind. But distance doesn't always bring clarity, and no matter how far she goes, the past has a way of following. Because some choices don't stay in the past, and some stories don't end just because you walk away. Updates weekly ✦

A dream city. A co-living full of strangers. A desk no one wants to occupy. Marina thought that moving to Florence would be the beginning of the best time of her life.

Five best friends and university students living in Japan had spent months counting down the days to their dream road trip. They saved every yen they could, planned their route, packed camping gear, food, tools, and everything they might need, then loaded it all into their trusty off-road car and set out across the countryside. It was supposed to be a simple adventure. Then they took a quiet shortcut marked on an old, hand-drawn map. A strange mist rolled across the road. They drove into it. And when the fog finally lifted, the world outside their windows was no longer Japan. The towns were gone. The road signs were unfamiliar. Their phones had no signal. Even the mountains and stars above them belonged to a world they had never seen before. Yet somehow, they were unharmed. Still sitting inside their car. Still carrying everything they had packed for their trip. There had been no summoning circle. No accident. No mysterious voice calling their names. One moment, they had been driving toward a campsite. The next, they had crossed into a world that did not exist on any map they knew. With no obvious way home, the five friends make a decision: stay together. Their car becomes their shelter, their storage, their workshop-and their most precious connection to the life they left behind. As they travel through the unknown land, they discover strange landscapes, unfamiliar civilizations, dangerous creatures, and people who have never heard of the world they came from. But the farther they drive, the more they begin to wonder... Was the road really an accident? Why did the mist appear? And why does this strange world seem to know something about them that they don't know themselves? This is the story of five ordinary friends, one stubborn off-road car, and the unexpected life they will build in a world they never meant to reach.

Caelis Mercer never believed that love could end. At sixteen, she met Laius Sinclair-the boy with stories in the margins of his notebooks. She was the girl with a quiet smile that made him believe his words mattered. What began with a blank page became years of shared dreams. University days. Art studios. Late-night calls.

Theirs ends because sometimes, loving someone isn't enough to save what you've lost along the way. And sometimes, the hardest person to leave-is the person you once promised to stay with forever.

[Winner of the Special Poem Category & 3rd Best Prose Poem in the Summer Poetry Awards] Tides of the Soul is a poetic, reflective novel about healing, self-discovery, and learning to let go of what no longer serves us. Just like the tides that carry away the old to bring in the new. Life moves like the ocean, always shifting, always changing. We hold on to pain like stones in our pockets, weigh ourselves down with the ghosts of what could have been, and let the past pull us under like an unforgiving current. But what if we chose to surrender? What if we let the waves cleanse us, let the tide carry away our burdens, and trusted that what is meant for us will always return? Through lyrical prose and deep introspection, Tides of the Soul takes you on a journey of release, acceptance, and renewal. A story of breaking free from the weight of yesterday and learning to embrace the ebb and flow of life. Like the ocean, we are meant to move, to change, to let go. And maybe, just maybe, we are meant to be free. #1 in SOULFUL #5 in INSPIRATIONAL

Leaving Boston was supposed to be the hard part. At twenty-three, Marlowe Lawson arrives in London with two suitcases, a prestigious surgical training position at St Thomas' Hospital, and every intention of starting over. A new city. A new career. A chance to build a life that's entirely her own. She isn't looking for friendship. She definitely isn't looking for love. She's simply trying to survive impossibly long shifts, navigate a city she's never lived in, and convince herself that leaving home was the right decision. The last thing she expects is the quiet man living next door. Reserved. Private. Impossible to read. To the rest of the world, he's Harry Styles. To Marlowe, he's simply the neighbour she passes in the hallway every morning. As chance encounters become familiar routines and ordinary moments begin to mean everything, two strangers slowly discover that sometimes the people who change your life don't arrive with grand gestures-they arrive with a quiet "morning," a shared cup of coffee, and the feeling that, for the first time in a long time, you're finally home. A story about finding yourself, finding each other, and discovering that solace isn't always a place. Sometimes... it's a person. 🥈#apartment 🥇 #harrystyles
