Blind Date with a Book – A Book “Shop” Meet Cute

I froze where I had been dancing - alone in my apartment. Was that what I thought it was? As if in reply it came again, a soft: Knock, knock I went into a crouched position, as if somehow whomever was outside my door might be able to see me. When in fact they probably …

Self-Love Note December Edition

Dear Readers, How have you been doing? How has the holiday season been treating you? With a little extra time on my hands (we all know why - thanks 2020) I found myself creating an advent calendar to send to my nieces. So over 50 origami boxes later, and a fun delivery system (a toy …

The Spine – A Book Shop Meet Cute

His warm breath at her neck sent a shiver skittering down her spine. To be this close to him. To feel his thumbs graze... "Ma'am?"  The words made me flinch. Not necessarily due to their connotation but more likely due to the fact that they just interrupted a really good part.  I did what most …

November Self-Love Sunday

Dearest Readers,  How have you been? Are you like me and counting down the rest of 2020 feeling as though when we hit the new year that somehow the horrors of this past year will transform us back into the pumpkins we once were?  It must be the fairy tale lover in me to entertain …

The Stack – A Book Shop Meet Cute

It wasn't the first time I had seen him there among the stacks of Rarity, my favourite book shop. But it was the first time I heard him laugh. He didn't even look up from what he was reading, not in the least bit nervous about who saw him or what it was he was …

Unsigned: A Book Shop Meet Cute

I wasn't supposed to be working today. Technically I wasn't working according to the regional manager. I was assisting with an author's Q&A that I was luckily given time off in order to attend. 'You can't imagine how busy events like this can be,' the echoes of his voice still reverberated within me. 'The very …

September Self-Love Sunday

What happened to August dearest Readers? Better yet, what happened to September?  I feel as though this year has both crept by silently stalking us and managed to speed past as well. It reminds me of those horror movies where the victim is running and the villain is slowly stalking them. No matter how fast …

Writing Prompt Wednesday – Flash Fiction Challenge

Do you want to meet? I couldn't stop myself before typing my reply: Did you seriously just ask that question? You're being absurd. Absolutely absurd. I watched the three-dot text bubble appear on the screen before disappearing. Waiting for the response. Absolutely absurd had been a bit much even for me. But at least I …

“The world did not end in a bang, or a whisper, but rather, one scream at a time…”

  The world did not end in a bang, or a whisper, but rather, one scream at a time. Its chilling sound rattled me from my sleep. I hadn't even realized I had closed my eyes. Had it been a scream? It had to have been? My thoughts stumbled around in a foggy confusion. It …
