Welcome to Laughing Gulls Books News
Pull up a chair for a minute. Imagine we’re on a Baja patio, something cold or warm in our cups, watching the light shift over the Sea of Cortez while gulls argue in the background. That is the energy I want for this space.
This is Laughing Gulls Books News, the corner where I keep you updated on what is happening across the books, series, translations, experiments, and the occasional wild idea that somehow turns into a real project.
Why “Laughing Gulls Books”?
The name comes from life by the water. Laughing gulls really do sound like they are cracking up at some private joke, circling over boats, beaches, and outdoor kitchens as if they have seen everything.
That is how I think of this imprint:
A little salty
A little unexpected
Rooted in real life
Always circling around stories that matter
Laughing Gulls Books is where I gather work about healing, presence, plants, creativity, food, and everyday magic. These are the books that live on your nightstand, your kitchen counter, or next to your favorite chair. They are meant to be used, not just read once and forgotten.
What you will find here
This News section is where I will share what is unfolding behind the scenes, including things like:
New book announcements and launch details
Updates on current series and future projects
Notes from the translation process
Sneak peeks at covers, formats, and experiments
When a book is ready for preorder, early readers, or it quietly goes live on Amazon, it will show up here.
You will also see:
Extra plant and wellness insights that do not fit neatly inside one book
Short pieces about how life in Baja shapes the work
Honest notes about what it really takes to bring a book from idea to printed page
The kinds of books under this imprint
Laughing Gulls Books lives at the intersection of:
Nature and the body
Plant guides and natural-care books such as aloe, rosemary, castor oil, hibiscus, and other “why did nobody explain it like this before?” topics.
Nervous system and soul
The Quiet Current series and related titles that speak to living inside a body that does not follow the standard script. These books are about presence, nervous system support, chronic illness, grief, and the quiet ways we stay here.
Lifestyle, food, and daily joy
Cookbooks, meal plans, gentle routines, and practical systems that make everyday life feel more doable and more nourishing, even if you are tired, busy, or rebuilding.
Across all of this, the philosophy stays the same:
You do not need to be fixed.
You deserve clear, grounded information.
Everything here is an invitation, not a command.
How I will show up here
You can expect:
Plain language and real talk
Practical information without guilt or pressure
A mix of science, lived experience, and curiosity
Respect for your time, your energy, and your limits
I will not promise a rigid posting schedule. Life, health, and real-world logistics all have their say. When something meaningful is happening with a book, a series, or a new project, you will see it here.
Staying connected
If you like following a book from first spark to finished copy, if you enjoy learning about plants and practices that support a more humane way of living, or if you simply want to know what is cooking in the Laughing Gulls Books world, this space is for you.
Bookmark this page, check in when you feel like it, and treat this News section as a little dock where you can stop, breathe, and see what is new.
Thank you for being here. Each time you read, share, review, or quietly keep a book nearby for the day you are ready, you become part of this odd flock and its work.
With love from Baja,
Lisa
