Stories born from storms

Not every day is a sunshine-and-tourism-brochure fantasy. And not every day is a Cat 5 disaster, either.
Most days show up in that unglamorous middle — and that’s not just okay; that's real life.In a world hooked on drama and dopamine, being okay is borderline rebellious.
You don’t have to lower the bar.
You don’t have to rocket-launch it into orbit, either.
Just pick the middle ground that doesn’t require oxygen tanks, and breathe.Because being okay — being you on a random Tuesday — actually counts.
Stillness isn’t stagnation. Solitude isn’t loneliness.
The ordinary has more meaning than people give it credit for.
Find it. And just be.
You don’t have to fall apart to be interesting.
You don’t have to be extraordinary to be worthy.Where Lightning Didn’t Strike follows Suzanne Turner as she tries to rewrite a life she never meant to drift into in the first place — a life full of almosts, red flags, mixed signals, and the kind of hope that refuses to stay quiet.Set in St. Petersburg, Florida, this novel blends emotional honesty, sharp humor, and a few storms that have nothing to do with weather.If you’ve ever loved the wrong person a little too much, trusted your instincts a little too late, or rebuilt yourself from the inside out — Suzanne’s story will meet you right where you are.
Suzanne's first in-universe essay — the one that changed everything — is almost here.Plus journals, stories, and a few lightning-struck surprises from the world she left behind.
