The Facebook ad said “Wanted: Male models for catalog, magazine and website photo shoot” Of course it showed a semi-provocative picture of a woman taking pictures of a man wearing shorts and no shirt at a beach.

The soccer team party was in full swing when we arrived. My son immediately stripped off his jersey and jumped into the pool, splashing all the parents who’d been unwise enough to sit too close. As always, I felt socially awkward, despite the fact that I’d known most of these parents for years, particularly since my husband hadn’t been able […]

Maya woke to the sun, sliding its tendrils through her bedroom blinds, oblivious to the needs of the occupant within. Her mouth was dry and the din between her temples spoke to a night of excess.
