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.

Website problems! Something was up at Godaddy this morning and our URL wasn't forwarding. However, if you're ever trying to get to our site, use this handy little QR Code to go right there. You can also type in https://bit.ly/P-Press ! The full URL is always https://propertiuspress.wixsite.com/propertiuspress if you want to go old school. Sorry for the technical issues! Hopefully they won’t happen again, but just in case :) . . . #propertiuspress #website #technicaldifficulties #techproblems #booksite #bookstore #books #indiepress
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.

The Invisible Hand of Your Mom wiping your butt for you so you can pretend like you’re having Important Man Thoughts
This makes me think about how Emily Dickinson was writing her poems and suffering from chronic depression but still somehow found time to contribute to the housekeeping and do all the baking and look after her sick mother. The Brontes sisters too still had to run the house for their elderly father and addict brother (who by all accounts did nothing and slept most of the day) while writing their poems and novels. Women writers have never enjoyed this privilege. .
Jane Austen only had a small desk in a public room.
After you learn more about women writers in the past, you really understand A Room of One’s Own.
A stack of books under the tree is the dream of most readers ♡ Whiling away the hours in worlds not of your own making, snuggled up with a cuppa in front of a warm fire 🔥 So many wonderful stories by our talented authors - hop on over to visitourbookstore.com and
find your most anticipated gifts

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
Being in Germany was really humbling because legit the GROCERY STORE would straight up close for almost 3 days because of how holidays would line up and the hours were already limited to literally be from 8-8 because people need to go home and live their own lives
It is very common for places in Spain to straight up shut down for 2-3 hours because people take siestas seriously since it gets hot and people deserve to take a nap
The world is not going to end if you’re inconvenienced by just… coming back later. We’ve been spoiled with immediacy and technology that we forget there was a point in time in human history where a person had to trek 20+ minutes down to the village bakery only to find it closed because of some family emergency and that just meant there would be no bread that day- and that’s okay!!
The discourse surrounding labor is so sad because we should not demand or expect things to be open 24/7 because we were not designed to be constantly moving machines. We need to relearn how to plan better since downtime is a wonderful opportunity to reflect and enjoy the moment. Not everything needs to be done with gusto and fervor. Sometimes it’s fine to pivot and just enjoy the moment for what it is and try again later. Touch more nature. Bask in the sun and rain. Breathe.

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…

Image courtesy Laura Chouette on Unsplash In 2019, Lee and Low published an important Diversity Baseline Study showing statistics among publishers related to the “the racial, gender, sexual orientation, and ability makeup of their employees.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, they found a diversity problem, which was reflected in the major offerings in the catalogs of most publishing houses. We began our…
