Audrey Álvaro wasn't supposed to be in Spain. She was supposed to be in D.C., pretending her ex didn't happen and writing ad copy for weed seltzers no one drinks.
But after a few glasses of wine and one poorly timed impulse, she booked a flight to Collada Vieja-a mountain town her father barely mentioned, and a place her abuelo left behind decades ago.
She doesn't speak Spanish. She doesn't know the customs. The hostel owner might think she's unstable. But sometimes the best journeys start with no plan.
Translating Audrey is a story about legacy, getting lost in translation, and what happens when you follow your breakdown across an ocean.

Changes To Changed (ANTHOLOGY)
LOVE, LIFE AND Everything in the world can ruin you piece by piece. And speaking through it gives you more peace, silence, calmness of soul and heart and there's a lot more and more. They might not understand it but sooner or later, some may appreciate it, love it, and learn from it without you knowing it in the first place, but some may fear to acknowledge it and that's okay. It's not for them why you share it but it is for you to heal from something because you learn to know how enlightenment proves another being. One thing for sure. Never let reality and fears ruin your strength to speak for it because the world needs you to help them by becoming their truth-seeker and truth-teller in the chapter you created their own books to open.

Golden Amora [COMPLETED]
Golden is a twenty-three-year-old woman who's dealing with a neurological disorder called prosopagnosia, which describes the inability to recognize faces and facial expressions. She has lived with her grandmother, Lolita, for more than a decade since her parents died under the greediness of Spanish men. She looks after her grandmother and supports Lolita's needs, especially the maintenance. Since she's only an elementary school graduate, it's not easy for her to find a regular job. She tried to apply in the town of Sison but was still rejected. While absentmindedly walking because of disappointment in the street, she bumped into an unknown guy but didn't even mind him. A coin was thrown at Golden's nape, causing her to look at him. The said guy is the youngest son of Hacendado, the most powerful man, and the owner of huge land and ten towns, including Sison. As a punishment for not apologizing, she will work at their hacienda in Dillo, but in a twist, as a personal maid. The unexpected meet up, contented by fights, laughs, sadness, truths, lies, and most especially love, behind the hacienda systems, history, secrets or hidden truths, and revelations. The most worthwhile ending comes from the unexpected beginning. THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the Author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. DATE STARTED: January 26, 2023 DATE FINISHED: February 10, 2023 @binibining_bisayaComplete

A short story. *A group of teenagers gather on the sidewalk in front of a single-family home with a FOR SALE sign plunged into the freshly cut grass. They converse and hug their friend while crying. "We are going to miss you," they say. "Please keep in touch. We should do video calls as much as we can." Ellie, the teenager in the middle of the group, refrains from crying.

Ellie's mother, Jessica, calls her to say their last goodbyes to everyone from their old neighborhood and get into the taxi.****Complete
