Short and Sweet: @BeccaJCampbell Releases Constricted: A Flawed Series Short Story!

A Short Story Companion to the Flawed Series Today is the release for Constricted , a brand new short story related to Becca J. Campbell ’s Flawed series. This story coincides with the events in Empath (Flawed #1), and takes place in Logan's point of view. You'll need to read Empath first to thoroughly enjoy this story. If you haven't already, download a free copy of Empath (links below). Read on to find out more about Constricted . Constricted (A Flawed Short Story) Logan’s secret has been exposed. When Jade—a beautiful student at the college where he teaches—discovered the truth, he spilled the whole repulsive story. Jade’s empathetic kindness flooded him with emotions he didn’t know he had and isn’t sure he wants to deal with. It would be the easiest thing in the world to leave and let Jade be a whisper in his past. He can exit now and regain his anonymity, or he can risk everything to stay and face her again. It’s not an easy choice, and when he’s about to de

Big Announcement!

Guys, this is a really big deal. I am so excited I have already peed my pants.* I am going to be the steward for Edmond's first Little Free Library! Squeeeee! If you aren't familiar with Little Free Library , it's an organization that promotes reading and literacy, as well as community togetherness. It's an awesome project and there are a lot of the little libraries all over the country. You can see a map of them on the website! If you still don't know what I'm talking about, they are those little birdhouse looking things that you have probably seen on the street or the internet that are full of books. So, I am going to be installing and running the one in Edmond! It's still fairly early days. But, thanks to my amazing dad, I have my structure! It does look just like a birdhouse, but it is going to be a book house instead. The library will be going in at Whispering Heights Park in Edmond, and I am hoping that the opening day will be April 25.

They are like crack. For real. I want to eat them all the time. I want to eat one now. And again, I really can't stress enough how little mess this meal makes.  It's okay, because I hate them back. I was originally turned on to this by my friend, Sheridan, who sent me this recipe . But of course, since I only had like three of the ingredients on the list, I just made things up as I went along, and while the original recipe was meant to be a breakfast item, I love it for dinner. It’s hearty and filling, and it feels like comfort food but is still pretty freaking good for you. And it is very easy to customize. Like, so easy. Like, you could make it every day and always be eating something different.   So, first, start with a very large pan. I use my 12” nonstick
