GNIGHT, SARA / ‘NIGHT, HECK
By Justine Castellon and Mike Dee
 
Sara and Heck's story begins with a chance meeting at Tribeca Trickle, a cozy New York City café. This serendipitous encounter weaves their destinies together, creating a sanctuary where they can be their true selves.

The sweetest revenge is living well—while your name lives rent-free in your enemy’s mind.

Van Gogh’s The Bedroom 🛏️🎨
Did you know there are three versions of this painting? Same room, same bed—different colors, moods, and details each time.

Lucky enough to see the one at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris 🇫🇷 and the one at the Art Institute of Chicago 🇺🇸

Art hits different when you see it IRL.

Chilly early-morning road trip 🚗❄️ A 3.5-hour drive from Michigan to Chicago, with a classic Indiana diner stop for breakfast on the way.

Happy Birthday, #JaneAusten 🎂📚
Still teaching us how to write sharp wit, unforgettable heroines, and love stories that actually mean something ….. over 200 years later. Forever learning from the queen. ✨✍️

Saddened to hear about the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele.

Stand by Me.
When Harry Met Sally.
A Few Good Men.

Rob Reiner shaped generations with stories that still hit. That’s a legacy.

Saddened by the news. She inspired me to write romance. I was hooked on her writing back in 2001 when Confessions of a Shopaholic came out. When I was still just dreaming of becoming a writer, I told myself I wanted to write with her kind of charm and voice.

I’ll always be your reader.

Ever wondered what goes on in the mind of a narcissist?

Meet Margaret Van Cleef—46, with hormones that seem to have served an eviction notice and are now making a dramatic exit. She lives in a creaky two-story house that groans in protest, with her judgmental tabby named Mandy.

Not everyone is worth responding to. Bullies reveal who they are without your help.

In corporate speak,

“Please stop embarrassing yourself in front of everyone.”

Anne Rice’s #Talamasca is like Twilight × A Discovery of Witches: a mind-reader chasing an ancient, old-wives’-tale manuscript… basically Edward Cullen on the hunt for Ashmole 782.

This is the story of Emma, who forged an online friendship with a fellow artist that brought both creativity and heartache—until he suddenly ghosted her, leaving her to face unanswered questions in the city they both call home.

In an era of memes and TikTok dances, writing is rebellion, and ink is the only weapon they never see coming. ✍️📚

We write so the mind can wander farther than a meme can scroll. In the age of shortcuts, reading is rebellion.

Who doesn’t love the weekend? Slow mornings, no work, no knocking-at-my-door kind of day….and enjoying some well-earned peace. ☕️
