Where to start? Iโ€™ll don my Captain Obvious hat for a moment here. Coffee.

Whether you enjoy the beverage or not (spoiler alert: I donโ€™t), thereโ€™s no denying itโ€™s the lifeblood of many. The tales I could tell about people doing things they otherwise might not, all to get their hands on their chosen elixirโ€ฆ Muahahahaha!

Enter Coffee Capers: 10 tales of coffee and adventure

The stories in this anthology perfectly sum up the โ€œWhatever it takes to get my coffee!โ€ mentality of those who need their fix. I havenโ€™t finished the book at the time of this post, but letโ€™s just say that of the tales Iโ€™ve read so far, I can safely confirm the characters involved will go to any lengths for a (perfect) brew.

I make no guesses about the authors going that far.

Coffee Capers is also a reason to celebrate. My java-addicted friend M. Plummer is making his debut as a published author. Thatโ€™s a special achievement and deserves to be celebrated.

Cheers to having your first published story out in the world, M, and may there be many more. I look forward to seeing what you do next. And remember, Iโ€™ve seen some of your coffee habits. Just sayinโ€™โ€ฆ

P.S. Before anyone lynches me for not liking coffee, consider this: Iโ€™m leaving more for everyone who loves it. Yes, Iโ€™m using that as my โ€œGet Out of Jail Freeโ€ card. Trust me when I say itโ€™s saved some friendships. ;-)
