I sometimes can’t believe I used to cross days off my calendar with a colorful, scented marker. I was only a child, counting down the days until Christmas, my birthday, Halloween, or summer break. Time used to feel incredibly infinite back then. The idea of crossing days off my calendar now terrifies me. Each day… Continue reading →

The Magical Chaos of Mexico City

I used to hang out at Lenora’s house before school and smell the fresh tortillas her mother made every morning. The delicious scent lingered in my hair and clothing while I sat in class…hungry, and day-dreaming about tacos. In a Southern California middle school I was the minority—most of my friends were like Lenora, not… Continue reading →

Begin Again: Fresh Website, New Series, and a Finished Novel

Havana: Uncensored and Beautifully Raw

A place frozen in time—that’s what everyone says about Havana. You hear stories and see images of gorgeous classic cars in pristine condition, attractive people who embody warmth and depth, and decaying buildings that were once incredibly grand. That still doesn’t prepare you for any of it. The first night we had dinner at Henky’s,… Continue reading →

Look at Life and Love Instead of Your Phone

My heart warmed when I saw them from a distance. I was on my weekly run through the city when I spotted the couple holding each other by a stoplight at a busy intersection. They were young and in love—it was only them and nothing else existed. As I approached them, the gap closing quickly… Continue reading →

“Charming characters and vivid descriptions are what make this suspense novel a real page turner. I was able to imagine myself in war torn Germany during WWII. Britt Skrabanek is a talented writer.”

Beneath the Satin Gloves

“How do we overcome bad decisions, and do we have the determination to shape the life we really want to live? This novel is suspenseful, romantic, peppered with history, and salted with satirical social commentary.”

Everything's Not Bigger

"Three sassy, determined women take a chance on the groundbreaking opportunities offered to them by fate and the times they live in. Fast paced, punchy and superbly edited, with characters who are so real that I hated to let them go at the end of the book."

Nola Fran Evie

"Set in a time when love has been outlawed, Virasana is the ultimate love story. Fear and injustice rule the land. Heroes are desperately needed—but in a society like this, it’s much easier to blend in than to stand up. It's The Hunger Games meets The Handmaid’s Tale."
