Produktbeschreibung

Trapped in a cycle of abuse and despair, Milly Tandino's only dream is to be free. With nothing but courage, a fake identity, and years of secretly saved money, she flees a violent husband and an unbearable past in Colorado, risking everything for the promise of peace. Her journey takes her across oceans to the quiet island of Dolan, Scotlanda place whispered about in magazines, a town all its own where she hopes to build something she can finally call hers.

But freedom isn't easy. Haunted by trauma and unsure who to trust, Milly finds an unexpected ally in Maya, a fellow survivor with secrets of her own. Together, they reclaim their lives, one paint stroke, one coffee cup, one heartfelt moment at a time.

As Milly breathes life back into a forgotten seaside cottage and dreams of opening a bookstore café, her past threatens to catch up. But the island has quiet magic, and its peoplegentle, protective, and strongmight be the family Milly never knew she needed.

The Coffee Shop is a profoundly moving tale of survival, sisterhood, and second chances, where healing is found in safety and the freedom to become who you were always meant to be finally.

Autorenporträt

I was born in Canon City, Colorado, to Irish/Scottish parents, grew up in Canon City and Texas, now living in Florida for the last eleven years. My first book, "Arkadia a Druid's Tale," was published on March 1st, 2010. I love to write since I was 14 years of age but never thought myself good enough. When I met a man that encouraged me to fulfill my dreams at the age of 32 and still encourages me to move forward with my new works of art. Now I have the sequel to Arkadia and two others published. I hope you all will enjoy them.

When I'm asked if I write about myself, I have to sit back and try not to laugh. I was told that since my characters carry my pen name that my readers think it is about me.

The truth is, I write under my characters' name since she is the one who is really writing the book. I'm just her instrument of use. The one that allows her to write through me. Now you might think I'm crazy, but I can assure you, I'm just as sane as everyone else. I don't want people to know my real name. Those who do already think I have lost my ever-loving mind.

My family seems to think I should write successful conclusions, where the hero or heroine lives happily ever after. Yet that is not me. I want to write about good/evil, happiness/devastation. I want it where my readers are crying with the characters when they are happy or sad. I want them to want to do murder when the bad guy is out to harm another. I want my readers to cheer when the characters finally have a happy time and things have gone their way.

That is who I am. The kind of writer I want to be. So yes I hide behind my main character. I use her to keep me safe.
