A City Girl Goes Camping Again After a Seven-Year Boycott

Why did I boycott camping seven years ago? One fateful summer day in Wisconsin. Okay, I’m being a tad dramatic. Mainly, it rained a shit ton on that fateful day. Not a gentle rain that sprinkles upon your face. More like a humid downpour…with flooding. Tent flooding. Mud in places you’ve never seen. Doesn’t that… Continue reading →

Natural Ways to Treat Migraines Using Life Knowledge

Many of us stop and think about our health only when things go wrong. By that point the body forces us to stop and listen. As a lifelong migraine sufferer, I’ve learned to listen attentively to my body. If I ignore what my body is saying…I’m out of commission for 1-3 days. The pain is… Continue reading →

Badass Women in History: Nina Simone

I’ll never forget the first time Nina Simone pierced my heart. I was in my early twenties, dancing to Feeling Good in my jazz class. I heard plenty of her songs before that day—her voice was unmistakable. Yet this was the first moment I connected with her, body and soul. I began to wonder: Who… Continue reading →

We’re Still Our Favorite People

I heard the most beautifully resolute sentence the other night. A man was talking to me and Mr. H about his wife, and he said: “We’re still our favorite people.” I loved this. It stuck to my heart like emotional glue. The next day a different man shared his upcoming ten-year anniversary plans with us.… Continue reading →

Making Space for What and Who You Love With Finite Time

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 →

“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."
