Zoey Michaels is a firm believer that the best tales come from seeing the world just a little differently. She likes to think of herself as a chef in the kitchen of imagination, taking the everyday “ingredients” of life - emotions, experiences, and those quiet, unnoticed moments - and turning them into something truly unique.

When asked, Zoey described her approach to storytelling this way, “There’s a line from a song in Sweet Home Alabama about ‘thinking sideways,’ and that’s exactly how I approach my writing. I mix the unexpected with the familiar, creating stories that feel like home but leave you seeing the world in a whole new way.”

Originally from the Midwest, Zoey’s life has been marked by a spirit of exploration and reinvention. Her goal is to tell stories that resonate on a personal level while offering readers an opportunity to see the world through a distinctive lens.

Coming out this weekend  Dear Reader,I hope you will enjoy reading this

Dear Reader,

I hope you will enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. For a long time, I’ve had a soft spot for Escape (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes—it’s one of my guilty pleasures.

At first, I wrote this story purely for my own entertainment, but as it came together, I realized I couldn’t just keep it to myself. That’s one of the joys of being an indie author—I get to explore different genres and follow wherever inspiration takes me. Since my mind is always brimming...

Chapter 4: The Agreement

Maggie couldn’t breathe.

The moment stretched between them, heavy and sharp-edged, thick with something she couldn’t name but could feel deep in her chest.

Oliver just stared at her, his expression unreadable—except for the flicker of something dark beneath it.

“You,” he said finally, voice low, almost stunned. “It was you.”

Maggie swallowed hard.

“Looks that way.”

Oliver exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair.

“So what?” His voice was tight, controlled. “You were...
