THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STARS
In her second full-length poetry collection, Skye Nicholson takes readers on a journey of self-discovery and healing that is at once both deeply personal and wholly universal. Her poems feel like having brunch and shopping for crystals with your best friend. Through her magical, sparkling free-verse, Skye takes our hearts in her hand and gently leads us through topics of grief, awe, loneliness, and unconditional love. No matter your age or gender, you will leave this book feeling inspired, spent, and deeply understood.
"Reading Skye's work feels like taking a walk with a best friend. She tells you her deepest desires, and she truly listens as you share yours. This beautiful collection of poems will leave you feeling inspired, supported, and known."
~SAMANTHA RAE LAZAR, AUTHOR OF "DON'T TELL YOUR GRANDMA" AND "REACHING MARRAKESH"
ELEMENTAL ALCHEMY
This is a place for you to tell your story. Wherever it began, and wherever it may take you, your story is both your legacy and your future. Writing down the words that weave these threads of your own personal journey is, like the ancient process of alchemy, a special kind of magic.
The journal is divided into four parts, each guided by one of the ancient elements and the alchemical wisdom associated with it. Following the prompts in order will guide you through the universal process of transformation, so that you may discover your truth and live unfolded and empowered like the butterfly.

“Writing has helped me to process my past, sort through anxiety, and embrace my emerging inner strength. My hope is that my words may settle themselves into someone else’s soul and make them feel less alone. My hope is that my words offer permission for others to shine light upon their own shadows and evaporate shame."

Paired with artful designs by Indie illustrator Cheryl Liz Byers, Skye's words evoke a courageous and raw honesty that illuminates how decades of addiction and shame can dissolve through vulnerability, compassion and self-love.
