"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

"...the new Bridget Jones, a working woman's take on the digital age." About the Author: Working mother and red wine enthusiast, Renee lives in Toronto with her flawed but wonderful family (seriously, who left socks on the kitchen counter?) in a flawed but wonderful house (what *is* that smell in the basement?) where she writes flawed but wonderful stories about what it is to be a woman today.

Valerie Stone is a visionary, a billionaire, and a terrifying boss. She can negotiate a merger in her sleep, but she can't name her daughter's favorite color. ​Chloe Davis is her executive assistant. She is underpaid, overworked, and currently heartbroken after her girlfriend dumped her for being "married to the job." ​For six years, the dynamic has been simple: Chloe knows everything about Valerie. She knows her coffee order, her ex-husband's trigger points, and exactly how to calm down Valerie's son during a panic attack. Valerie knows nothing about Chloe. Not her dreams, not her heartache, and certainly that Chloe is into women. ​But when a crisis forces the Ice Queen to rely on her assistant for more than just spreadsheets, the walls begin to crumble. Valerie is about to discover that the woman holding her life together is the only mystery she can't solve-and the only one who can melt the stone around her heart.

Aarvish sees Khushi as chaotic, unserious, and distracting. Khushi sees him as robotic, arrogant, boring CEO who probably breathes spreadsheets. They clash instantly: She talks too much. He talks only when necessary. She laughs at everything. He barely smiles. He lived by rules. She never followed one

After all, sometimes life is arranged. A Shaadi where Love was unwelcomed. And Drama that definitely shows up with the calm colliding with chaos and tensions that charge the air around. But Fate? It writes its own script.

He asked me to marry him. I said no. Three months later, everything fell apart. Two years later, he's dead - and the last words I ever said to him still haunt me. "I hate you." Now grief follows me like a shadow, and guilt keeps me awake at night. I would give anything for one more chance. One more conversation. One more moment. But some wishes don't come without consequences. Because when the past refuses to stay buried... I start to understand something terrifying. He didn't just leave. He came back for me.

Within the halls of the Academy, students embark upon a four-month journey of imagination, craft, and self-expression. This program is designed to guide scholars through the art of creating meaningful characters, not merely figures in a story, but living souls shaped by emotion, culture, and purpose. Beginning with self-discovery, students learn to uncover the heart of a character: their personality, origin, element, and emotional voice. From there, they expand their vision outward, designing the worlds, cultures, and myths that shape their creations. As the journey continues, scholars explore conflict and transformation, learning how stories grow through trials, relationships, and personal evolution. Finally, they refine and present their work, crafting a complete narrative and visual profile ready to stand within a larger fictional universe. Across four stages, The Seed of Self, The Wind of Form, The Bloom of Purpose, and The Eternal Rose, students will transform a single idea into a fully realized character and world. The program concludes with the creation of a Character Lorebook, a polished codex containing the character's identity, story, world, and legacy.
