I kept the pictures in my pocket at all times trying to build a bridge between these poor lost souls and myself. After the whole debacle of Thorny’s demise, our business has increased instead … Continue reading The Java Tavern: MumFest & Murder

Compression Gloves & Pink Walls
I've been in a strange head space the last few weeks. I'm having some chronic pain issues that have returned full force. The feeling of melancholy has swept me out to sea. I'm so exhausted. So tired.

Exhausted State of Mind
I'm so tired. It feels like I'm dragging my soul behind me, shackled to my ankles. My soul wrinkled and deflated, drags behind my heels sluggishly.

TJTS: Horrors at The Harvey (Book 4)
Chapter One “I come in peace!” Khai announced themself while pushing through the kitchen doors of The Java Tavern. Their hands raised in surrender. I looked up from the pies I was adding filling to. Metaphorical ice crystals started to form between us. I visualized them growing all around us like large stalagmites. “Carly let … Continue reading TJTS: Horrors at The Harvey (Book 4)
The Java Tavern Character Coffees
Another author friend of mine said for character building she always figures out everyone's go-to coffee drinks/morning beverages. So I thought I'd give it a try! I am doing their regular orders from The Java Tavern, though... just for extra fun. 🙂 I have the characters listed in order from Main Character all the way … Continue reading The Java Tavern Character Coffees
The Problem with Eating
The problem with eating is when you're having to battle a mental hurtle to consume the calories that it takes to live another day. I've been having a few "Bad eating" days. The bad part isn't junk food... it's the lack of wanting to eat at all. I'll be STARVING, look at our fully stocked … Continue reading The Problem with Eating
