Books & Games by Becky Magnolia

NEW TITLES

The plan was simple. Florida author Becky Magnolia would devote one month to interviewing small-business owners who live and work along A1A, Florida's coastal byway. Their stories and insights would be self-published in a small book that would (hopefully) make enough money to pay for her iced coffee addiction.

However, as the interviews progressed, a very different story emerged, and it became apparent that a more authentic, oh-so-human story was asking to be told.

As a result, this "fun little tourist book" quickly evolved into a heartfelt adventure full of inspiring conversations and profound reflections, incorporating not only the words of others but also Becky’s journal entries and photographs she took along the way.

Join local author Becky Magnolia and her new-found friends as they reflect on small-town coastal living and explore together what it means to live a life rich with curiosity, compassion, and love.

Table Scraps: Inspiration from the Waves

"I'm going to tell you a secret. I am in love, but it’s not what you think. I am in love with this breath, my stomach as it rises and lowers, my feet, my toes, the wild ocean waves. I am in love with the absolute nothingness, this divine embrace. Stop looking on the outside. You are what you seek. Everything you want resides within your glowing heart."

In this inspirational picture book, author Becky Magnolia shares her oceanside wisdom, celebrating the spirit of the waters near her home in Saint Augustine, Florida.

MEMOIR

I Look Better in Binary

"Growing up Jewish, in the Midwest, in the 1980s made writer, Becky Pourchot, thoughtful, a little neurotic, and hilariously funny. Her (mis)adventures through puberty are fertile ground for both side-splitting humor and heartbreaking truths about life. From an early attempt to become a Gypsy fortune teller to a teenaged discovery of the wonders of ham (and the guilt that went along with it), I Look Better In Binary delivers wildly entertaining stories of family, friends, and the awkwardness of childhood.

Forgive Me Martha

"After the birth of author Becky M. Pourchot’s twins, life slipped into chaos. The family was eating take-out four times a week, the house smelled of dirty diapers, and an infestation of moths descended on the kitchen like a team of unfed sumo wrestlers. She did what she could, but in her mind it was never enough. Rather than crumple under the unreachable demands of her new life Pourchot began a blog, confessing all of her hilarious shortcomings to Martha Stewart the “Great Goddess of Domesticity.”

Life was pleasantly normal for Gala Rhyce—that is, until her mom moved the family to Flagler Beach, Florida. Now—despite the palm trees, ocean breezes, and cute surfer guys—Gala is miserable…until she meets Trista. Trista makes a great friend, except for one thing: she's a ghost.

The girls learn to communicate, and through Gala, Trista finds a way to experience the world again. As Gala’s romance with a heartthrob poet begins to bloom, her unlikely friendship with Trista continues—until the ghost wants more than Gala can give, and things start to go horribly wrong.

Filled with horror, romance, and humor, Food for a Hungry Ghost is about friendship, trust, jealousy, and boundaries that get pushed too far.

How much can Gala endure? Will she survive the clutches of the Hungry Ghost?

As she tries to survive her first days of high school, she finds herself pestered by a bubble gum-blowing ghost, making Gala’s job of fitting in even more impossible.
