“No Time To Lose” by Ashley Soto Prado

I was not feeling the love. Emma looked back and forth between me and her notebook. I didn’t see why.

She put down her notebook to give me a judgemental look. “It’s not my fault you were too cheap to pay an actual therapist to listen to your...

Author bio

I'm a writer from Texas. My favorite genres are Romance/Comedy/Drama. I also write about mystery, not often, but I like to try. I love writing, and I'm always trying to find new ways to express my writing. I'm easily inspired by anything I read or watch. Almost all of my stories will have a sense of humor to them, because I just love making people laugh. I just started writing on reedsy a few days ago, but it's been really fun so far. I hope reedsy will help me become a better author.
