Love is About Us and Nothing Else

Mr. H and I quietly celebrated our 15-year wedding anniversary this past week. It was the quietest celebration we’ve ever had. No romantic getaway, no dinner date. It was just us. In our apartment where we work and sleep. There is one thing this year has taught many of us…introspection. Whether you wanted to be… Continue reading →

The Serendipity of My New Podcast

I almost have a podcast to share with you, but it’s not remotely close to the podcast I planned to launch this year. In fact, I ended up tossing an entire business out the window when I realized I was never going to launch my travel wellness publication, Clove. You may have heard me mention… Continue reading →

Stop and Notice the Birds

A bird hit me in the side of the head once. It didn’t shit on me. It flew into my head, then flew away. I was sitting in a parking lot in Dallas on a 100+ degree summer afternoon back in 2007. I sat on the curb in my fancy work outfit, my ass burning… 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."
