The Rhodes Report #2: Summer

Heatwaves, Page-Turners, and the Stories You Should’ve Found Sooner.

Welcome to Summer

The heat’s here—and with it, everything speeds up. Days stretch longer, the air gets heavier, and suddenly, everything feels urgent or better with a cold drink dripping in condensation.

Summer is when secrets sound better, when obsessions take hold, and when the stories that started slow come in hot.

At Rhodes Ave. Press, the temperature’s rising—and so are the stories.
