I love stories. Some of you know, but some probably don't, that about ten years ago, Propertius Press came into being. We're doing some pretty awesome work - curating a collection of reads selected for their propensity to stay with you long after you turn the last page.

We look for authors with an authentic voice, whose story hasn't been told in the same old format and fashion, and we lift them up to readers everywhere.

Check them out. In a world with sparkly, fast joys everywhere you look, Propertius invites you to settle in, get comfy, grab a cuppa, and breathe in.

DARK FICTION... tales with elements of mystery, fear, angst, and woe... sometimes ending with a bright reconciliation... sometimes, absolutely not. These stories offer a decent into possible madness, a journey into the future, peripatetic travelogues through time and space... to find utopia, or dystopian misery. Knowledge of what is and what shall be. Hidden agendas. Unhinged conspiracies. Lost birthrights. Characters who fight fiercely for what they believe, to find their truth. And either live or die trying.

Stories that will make you think, and leave you forever changed after finishing the last page.

I think Americans need to understand how normal it is in other countries to have extremely limited hours of operation to ensure the sanity and health of workers are kept in tact. We are so accustomed and entitled to demanding people’s time that we forget that they’re… y’know… people

Comforts of Home, and Ancient Wisdom

I don’t know about you, but I really hate shopping. Photo by Stéphane Juban on Unsplash Continuing the tradition of food and family togetherness that we celebrate here in the US on the third Thursday in November, when the fridge is stocked with delicious leftovers and the weather outside is chilly, the last thing I would want to do is fight crowds and traffic. No thank you! Speaking of…

We began our…
