@urbanpigspress.bsky.social Recovery series: another brilliant story by Paige Johnson of @outcastpress.bsky.social urbanpigspress.co.uk/2025/07/07/p...

Pink Tide – Paige Johnson

Some people say they lose their spark with the end of an era, an addiction, but I lost my shadow. I stare up at dusk’s spiral clouds like I’m waiting for a cyclone that won’t come. Like I’m a fiend…

One year since the launch of Bitter Fruit. Many thanks to those who have read it and to those who have reached out. I'm grateful for the people this book has brought into my life 🙏 #memoir #booksworthreading

Independent publishers matter more than ever.

Got my hands on @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social’s Motel Anthology and I’m loving it. After reading many of the stories in Tough Women, Gritty Tales, and seeing that both @outcastpress.bsky.social and @caseystegman.com had stories in it, I had to grab it. So good, I love it!

We are pleased to partner with the lovely folks at Mind Virus books. If you’re in the Fargo, ND area, frequent these folks and support a small bookstore. Not to mention, these folks don’t shy away from the strange, gritty, violent and transgressive.

“What is life?” asked the caterpillar.
“Wings,” said the butterfly.
“What is safety?” asked the water.
“The dams I create,” said the beaver.
“What is beauty?” asked the leaves.
“Seeds,” said the tree.
“What is renewal?” asked the cloud.
“Me,” said the rain.
