It's Just the Haze by Erica Ma
It’s Just The Haze, by Erica Ma

It’s Just the Haze is a collection of thoughts, heartbreaks, adulting, reminders, and hope.
Not polished. Not perfect. Just real.

For those who feel too much.
For the ones who show up anyway.
For anyone missing old friends, loving too softly, or simply learning to breathe again.

Flip to any page.
Let it sit. Let it hold you.

Maybe it’s not always a storm.
Maybe… it’s just the haze.

When The Forest Held Its Breath
When The Forest Held Its Breath, by Sidonia V. Antal

A psychological crime thriller

A weekend escape to a snowy mountain town should have been perfect. But when Zoe’s boyfriend vanishes without a trace, she’s pulled into a chilling hunt for missing men—victims of a killer said to stalk the frozen forest. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes the truth may lie far beyond the trees… and closer to home than she ever imagined.

As whispers of old crimes collide with dangerous new secrets, Zoe finds herself caught between two deadly worlds: a decades-old string of murders in the mountains, and the ruthless web of a city underworld. In both, trust is a luxury—and betrayal can be fatal.
