Diane Corso, Author of Skin and Bones, Releases Gripping New Thriller Broken Things
Broken Things is the Winner, 2023 Page Turner Fiction Award Best Paranormal/Supernatural Genre
'This Book goes beyond the horror genre and the typical ghost story. It digs deep into the monster: grief, the daily-ness of loss, and how our identity reshapes itself as we heal.'— Laura Munson
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 24, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- An Emotional Journey of Loss, Redemption, and Unseen Shadows in the Heart of the Sierra Nevadas
The much-anticipated novel Broken Things is set to captivate readers with its masterful blend of psychological suspense, raw emotion, and supernatural intrigue. Written by Diane Corso, author of Skin and Bones, this riveting story follows Maggie Oliver—a once-successful blogger grappling with the devastating aftermath of a tragic car accident that claimed the lives of her husband and young son.
Broken Things invites readers into a world where grief meets mystery. Maggie's quest for healing propels her to the secluded lakeside cabin in the Sierra Nevadas—a sanctuary built from the memories of her past and the legacy of a family steeped in long-hidden secrets. As the quiet isolation of the cabin slowly unravels into a chilling tapestry of recurring nightmares and eerie hauntings, Maggie is thrust into a confrontation with a mysterious shadow world that threatens not only her sanity but also the safety of her new friends.
A Journey of Healing and Haunting Revelations
Rebuilding Amid Ruins: In the wake of overwhelming personal loss, Maggie embarks on a courageous journey to rebuild her life as a writer. Her retreat to the family cabin symbolizes both an escape and a reluctant reunion with the ghosts of her past.
Unseen Forces: As unexplainable phenomena and spectral apparitions begin to plague the secluded retreat, Maggie finds that the cabin has its own, more sinister narrative. Each night brings revelations about her husband's past and the hidden secrets that have long been buried beneath the surface of her family history.
Edge-of-Your-Seat Suspense: With each turn of the page, Broken Things blurs the line between the real and the supernatural, inviting readers into a suspenseful, immersive experience where personal loss catalyzes a battle against dark forces.
Author's Insight
The author of Broken Things shares, 'This story is not just a ghost story—it's a meditation on grief, resilience, and the unexpected ways in which our past shapes our destiny. Maggie's journey is one of both loss and discovery, and I hope readers find her struggle as hauntingly beautiful as it is terrifying.'

Shoppers Are Turning to Amazon for Travel Wedding Rings—Here's Why
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. On a recent trip, I was nearly blinded by a beam of light reflected off a fellow traveler's ring finger. It was a diamond of epic proportions—I'm talking Hailey Bieber or Kardashian-style wattage. As a true girl's girl, I complimented her on it. She laughed. 'Oh, this? It's actually from Amazon.' I could not contain my shock. She went on to explain that she had purchased it to wear to the gym, when traveling, and any other time she felt it would be risky to wear her actual diamond ring out and about. Genius. When I reported this to my married sister, she scoffed. 'Yeah, I've had a dupe ring, like, ever since the wedding.' Apparently, I am late to the party. Then, while recently reporting on a story, I set out to interview people selling their engagement rings on Facebook. One user told me the band she had listed was actually a 'cheaper ring' she bought to wear while clubbing. (Love that for her.) Her marriage had ended, but she planned to keep the 'nice one.' (Love that for her, too.) Now, I'm seeing faux engagement rings just about everywhere—including the accessory sections at my favorite online shops. More and more brides seem to be joining the trend, and honestly, it makes good sense. Below, shop the best travel wedding rings.

The Pat McAfee Show could be coming to Steelers training camp, thanks to Aaron Rodgers
Intense positional battles may not be the only excitement at Steelers training camp this year — as Aaron Rodgers invited Pat McAfee to host his show live in Latrobe. On Tuesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers asked McAfee to come to Latrobe and 'do a little live show at training camp with the Steelers.' Here's how he responded: 'Maybe we should go do a training camp,' McAfee said. 'I don't know if we're allowed — that would have to be approved by the Steelers. I think the Steelers would approve that.' Tone Digs, a co-host on the show, chimed in and said Steelers Senior Director of Communications Bert Lauten approved it. That led to McAfee all but confirming the event: 'Alright, we will.' McAfee, a yinzer through and through, has a proven track record of Steel City entertainment — as evident by his successful Big Night AHT in Pittsburgh show. McAfee has done live shows all over the country — and if Rodgers gets his way, Steelers fans may soon have a front-row seat at training camp.

Oregon Football fans react to EA Sports CFB 26's strange choices for Ducks
The EA Sports College Football 26 video game is set to drop in a matter of weeks, so new details and trailers have been pouring out over the last months as fans prepare to dive back into the beloved gaming franchise and get onto the digital gridiron. On Tuesday, CFB26 released a deep dive into the revamped Dynast Mode of the game, showing all of the changes in this year's version of the game, from coaching and player archetypes to new recruiting tools. While there were a lot of encouraging takeaways for gamers, Oregon Duck fans seemed to focus on a couple of, let's say, "interesting" choices that the game made in their release. The first, and most minor detail, was the appearance of Dan Lanning in the video game. With over 300 college coaches being introduced, it's fun to see your favorite head man in the game, but some of them may not look quite accurate in the digital world. More importantly, though, the game highlighted a particular Oregon player as they went through different archetypes. The only problem, though, was that the player — LB linebacker Harrison Taggart — is no longer on Oregon's roster, and hasn't been in a few years. Taggart enrolled at Oregon in 2022, but transferred to the BYU Cougars in 2023, and has since again transferred to the California Golden Bears earlier this year in 2025. Here's a look at how Duck fans reacted to the two details from the game trailer release: The Dynasty Mode Deep Dive What does EA Sports Know? What does @EASPORTSCollege know that we don't?? 👀😂 Is This Tampering? CFB 26 tampering for Oregon with Harrison Taggart is definitely not something I had on my 2026 bingo card That's Dan Lanning? That is not Dan Lanning 😭 Yea, That's Not Dan Lanning Who the hell is this? Cuz it ain't Dan Lanning… Kirkland Brand Dan Lanning "We have Dan Lanning at home" Contact/Follow @Ducks_Wire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Oregon Ducks news, notes, and opinions.
