BLOG: Erotic Thriller Inspiration

Posted on May 8, 2026May 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday afternoon. Post-yoga vibes. Waiting on my lunch at the healthy place. I am trying to be kinder to myself and embrace the whole “healthy yogi” thing. I like cheeseburgers far too much to ever go full crunchy, but a side of granola every now and then isn’t a bad...Read More

BLOG: Me Want Deep-Fried Oreo Cookie!

Posted on May 7, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. At the coffee shop. I brought in a screenshot of the SCMP article about the crazy Aussie who was here harassing myself and the staff. The staff were all thrilled to see it, but they don’t think the punishment is harsh enough. The guy went to court and had...Read More

BLOG: So Hollywood

Wednesday evening. At the Cantina. I came here to distract myself from stewing over the Russian. This proved to be a good idea. For one, it’s very busy. Two, the owner is here. He greeted me by asking how my book is going. He, like every man I know, asked...Read More

BLOG: Cinco de Drinko

Posted on May 6, 2026May 6, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. Went out with my friend last night for dinner in honor of Cinco de Mayo. We went to a place in Central that was running a “Free Flow” deal on tacos, margs, and Coronas. That means “All You Can Eat and Drink in 90 minutes.” Challenge Accepted. I ate...Read More

BLOG: Man vs Bear vs Crocodile vs Lion

Tuesday. Rainy day. Stayed at home today. I am obsessed with this new instant coffee I bought. Indocafe. So good. Best instant coffee I’ve had in Asia so far, except for that rare mocha brand I got in Thailand once and then never saw ever again. Tragic. Truly tragic. I...Read More

Monday. Here we are, back at the cafe. The barista said I was late today and asked me if I’m hungover after partying over the holiday weekend. Unfortunately, I am not hungover, but I think I would prefer to be over what I was actually doing this morning that caused...Read More

BLOG: The Cure for Loneliness

Posted on May 3, 2026May 5, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday afternoon. Chillin’ in my apartment on a rainy day. There is something very cozy about rainy days in Hong Kong. The thunder is rolling in, the lightning is flashing, the rain is pounding against the pavement, the streets are slowly filling up with water and flooding. It’s the perfect...Read More

BLOG: Rooftop Rumble

Posted on May 1, 2026May 2, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Here we are. Saturday morning. Up on my rooftop, which is unusual for me. I had to come here to clean up the mess I made last night, so I decided to stay for a coffee, a smoke, and a blog. Somehow still fully intact after I ran into Hot...Read More

BLOG: SEA of Sharks

Posted on April 30, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. Back at the coffee shop. I haven’t been here all week due to a combination of heavy rainfall and general malaise. Just pushing myself back into action, no matter what it takes. Another week, another round of dead applications that went absolutely nowhere. Fabulous. Apparently the only jobs I...Read More

BLOG: Talkin’ ‘Bout My Shrimp Crimp

Posted on April 30, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Had another nightmare last night. Always a nightmare. I don’t sleep very well here in Hong Kong. It’s a thing. Had a halfway productive day today. Dropped off my sheets and towels at the laundry. Went to the market to pick up a package of bottled water. Popped into...Read More
