Exploring the absurdities of love: ancient, modern, and eternal. Stories where passion ignites in unexpected places.

Hi, I’m Madison Golding. I write stories where love blooms in the absurd and unexpected. Think slow-burn romance with a twist, humor with heart, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. Follow me for snippets, musings, and ideas that’ll make you laugh, think, and maybe blush a little.
Painted a cardinal and collaged a mass mobilization of flowers, saints, and side-eyes. “Be a voice, not an echo,” he says. He will not be repeating himself. Anyway, this is a watercolor. Also, that bird is judging us all.

And he’s right.

Ever get that call? The one that hijacks your day, has you grabbing your keys without a second thought, and leaves you standing there asking, ,"What the hell just happened?" This is that story. There’s a cat. There’s a can of Yoo-Hoo. And there’s a fine line between fiction and truth. Curious?

Love the Stranger Who is You
And stop looking in the mirror if you can’t handle it.

The crocuses are in bloom,
small fists of gold and violet punching through the earth.
Brave and defiant,
they flare before the world is ready.

The world is being run by people who’ve only read the first half of a self-help book about manifesting your dreams. They never got to the chapter about not being a complete asshole. I’ll be in my cave writing love stories about bariatric rescue romance. That’s how I cope.

Here are my latest thoughts: It’s about the hard work of unbinding things we were never meant to hold. What happens when we stop clinging to what’s breaking? What happens when we trust the unraveling?
Unbinding
Letting go of what was never ours to hold.

All I want to do is write The world is burning & my to-do list can wrap around the earth 2x. When I write, the urge to “do something” quiets down. I’ll deal with real life later. If you need me, I'm deep in a love story about an atmokinetic groundhog. It’s the only way I know to figure things out.
