    The ticking doesn't haunt Elara anymore. It guides her. When it leads her into a quiet nursery, she finds a mother slowly turning to porcelain. Not from cruelty, but from shame. In the soft glow of a bedside lamp, love and exhaustion battle for the same space. And the only thing that can stop the transformation is the truth. Cradled in Porcelain is a tender story about postpartum depression, guilt, and the courage it takes to admit you're not okay.

    Joy thought having their daughter would bring them closer. Instead, motherhood made her invisible. Six months after Emily's birth, Joy's world is sleepless nights, spit-up-stained shirts, and the ache of doing it all alone. Rowdy says he's trying-looking for work, trying to be present-but when his best friend Becca offers him a job, it feels like another door closing. Because Becca has always wanted him. And this time, Joy isn't sure he'll say no. When late-night texts turn into secrets and laughter that used to belong to her, Joy realizes it's not an affair she can prove; it's one she can feel. And when she finally walks away, Rowdy has to decide if the comfort he found in Becca was ever worth losing the family he built with Joy. ⭐The entire first draft is available for subs on Patreon. Otherwise, you can read the full, and polished book when it releases on KU Spring of 2026).⭐

    Two damaged hearts - and one sweet baby to bring them together. When rancher Wyatt Black discovers an abandoned baby on his doorstep, he needs help ASAP - and finds it in his next-door neighbor, Ellie. There's no way he's capable of caring for the newborn on his own, and his rough childhood has left him doubting he'll ever be father material. But as little Darcy starts to wrap him around her little finger, and Ellie turns his bachelor's quarters into a family home, he wonders if he's been wrong all along. Elli Marchuk has been grieving in private for the life she's lost - her baby, her marriage, even her job. When the grouchy rancher next door asks for her help, she's hesitant. But an innocent child needs her, so she puts her personal misgivings aside. Helping Wyatt with Darcy starts to heal all the broken parts of her heart, especially when she and Wyatt develop tender feelings for each other. But Darcy will only be with them for a short time. And Elli isn't at all sure she's ready to take a second chance on love, even with a man as strong and sure as Wyatt...

    Though a short story, ' The Yellow Wallpaper ' is heavily layered with many inequalities, such as forced alienation, isolation, unequal gender dynamics, etc. that women of that era, faced, at the hands of patriarchal men. And even after 129 years of its first publication, it is still a very important book in the world of critics. And through this story, we are going to discuss how, " Alienation" can be considered a gift of freedom from arbitrary norms that those living on the margins of society did not make, and did not sanction.
