For Evie, an all-expenses-paid trip to Anguilla means sun, surf, and margaritas. Not the fraternal twins her parents once fostered—or their scorching looks and lingering touches.

A warm-toned collage evoking summer and luxury: silhouettes of people clinking wine glasses at sunset; three pairs of sunglasses arranged in sand like smiling faces; ocean waves washing over sand with the words “TIME TO RELAX” written in it; a close-up of intertwined hands with the quote “Once we do this, there will be no going back”; bare legs stretched out beside an infinity pool with a cocktail and sunscreen nearby; tall palm trees against a bright blue sky forming a smile; and a title card reading “Low Tide, written by Alexis Nightengale.”

I'm relatively new to this, but what I always tell myself is:

Do the thing even if it's scary. And when you fail, do it again.
And then again.

Failure is the best teacher, and fear should never hold you back from following your dreams.

Hi, I'm Iza. Always loved writing, did a zine as a teen, #querying my 1st novel.

Sometimes I get in my own way, convinced everything has to be perfect before it can be shared.

Today, I got out of my own way.

The first two chapters of my GameLit project are now live!

Gabriel loves the high that hits mid-workout, when his body forgets everything else.

Victor loves driving a hundred miles an hour down an empty highway, windows down, music loud.

Evangeline loves engagement—likes, comments, proof that her dream is alive and working.

Although I don't believe any of them would come out and say it directly, the future scares all of Low Tide's protags.

Additionally, being replaced / unwanted is a very big thematic fear in the narrative.

Chapter One of Low Tide has been posted! 🎉

When Evie lands in Anguilla, she’s expecting surf, sand, and margaritas—not fraternal twins from her past whose gazes linger a heartbeat too long.

Meet Gabriel Wright. 💪🏾
Warm, confident, and impossible to miss, he’s always been the easier twin—the one who shows up, takes charge, and makes everything feel… effortless.

Who knew falling in love would feel so similar?

A six-image character mood board with a gritty, masculine aesthetic. Top left: a cluttered black tabletop covered in empty beer cans, liquor bottles, cigarette packs, stickers, and bar clutter, suggesting nightlife and social chaos. Top right: a black-and-white photo of a muscular man in a fitted black T-shirt gripping his own forearm, emphasizing strength and physicality. Center right: a gym scene with dumbbells and bold text reading ‘Your words mean nothing when your actions are the complete opposite,’ and another sign that says ‘Turn a bad day into a good workout.’ Bottom left: red-toned image of hands gripping a wrist, evoking intensity and physical connection. Bottom right: a person in a hoodie seen from behind in a gym, with text reading ‘I’m tired. It’s too cold. It’s too hot. It’s too late. It’s raining. Let’s go.’ A caption elsewhere reads, ‘How is “pretty boy” supposed to be an insult. I’m the prettiest goddamn boy in town.

🌕 Happy Full Moon, Nightbound.

First Full Moon of 2026, and the Library is very much alive:

Built the site myself.
Still writing through the chaos.
Still fighting platforms about fictional sex scenes.

The Library lives. 😌

Welcome to The Mess™. Today’s edition? Character names.

As Heatwave evolves into Low Tide, the cast is being renamed. I shared a sneak peek on Patreon.

Got name suggestions? I’d love to hear them.

The newest chapter of Heatwave was too hot for the Patreon bot.

While it's under review, the scribes present a quick, electric meeting between a demon and the young woman she was accidentally bound to.
