Cover of Acidulous Nostalgia, showing a butter log, brown sugar, and a black candle against a black background

Acidulous Nostalgia

Now available on Amazon · Novelette · 5 × 8 · Natasha Lizanne

Noami is a little girl waiting to be picked up after school — until a stranger's van pulls up instead. What follows is a dreamlike descent through fear, drugged sleep, and the other lost children she meets in the dark: Jerusalem, and the twins Sinclauris and Lucidef. Woven between the story are raw, sensual prose-poems — brown sugar symphonies, butter melting in the heat of memory — where love and longing blur into something almost holy. Acidulous means slightly sour. This is nostalgia with an edge: the sweetness of what was, cut with the ache of what happened. A short, intense read that lingers like a taste you can't quite place.

Cover of Taciturn, Beatific, and Meticulous, showing a soft, quiet scene of silent happiness

Taciturn, Beatific, and Meticulous

Now available on Amazon · Poetic fragments · 5 × 8 · Natasha Lizanne

Each piece begins 'For You' — raw, intimate meditations addressed to the people who shaped her: lovers, strangers, and the selves she used to be. These are fragments of a life felt deeply — fear and desire, pain and euphoria, the masks we wear and the moments we can't take back. Quiet yet searing, tender yet unflinching, this is a book for anyone who has ever sat with their own thoughts at 1:20 a.m. and needed to know they weren't alone in them. Breathe lovely... go find your purpose.

Cover of Detrimental Hypoxemia then Infirmity, showing an empty white sink with dark blue water spilling out of it

Detrimental Hypoxemia then Infirmity

Sequel to Taciturn, Beatific, and Meticulous · 6 × 9 · Now available on Amazon · Natasha Lizanne

A sequel, if you will. Detrimental Hypoxemia then Infirmity picks up where Taciturn, Beatific, and Meticulous left off — raw, confessional prose about living without enough air. The weakness. The vulnerability. Dreams where you're crippled and gasping, and waking life that isn't far off. Written for a friend too special for a book already finished. One warning, in her own spirit: pages five to nine get brutal. Skip ahead if you need to. It won't upset her any.

About Natasha

Natasha Lizanne is a mother foremost — and a business owner, front-end designer, and artist with a passion for running. A dedicated supporter of the SpeakUp Conference and Gigi's, she was informally adopted as a teenager shortly after losing her biological mother. Growing up neglected and isolated, her best friend was her imaginary friend — before her dog Maxeene came along — and her imaginary friend lives on in every single one of her books, of course his name started with P as it being her favorite letter. She is open about her mental health: seven hospital stays, each one the birthplace of a new novel idea. She feels no shame about the fragility her background left her with — she channels it into her writing, her painting, and her running. That difficult past became the emotional bedrock of her fiction. She writes novels that feel deeply because they come from someone who has. Honest, raw, and unafraid — her stories are for readers who aren't afraid to feel either. And someday, as an old lady, she'll own a bakery.
