This weekend I saw a dear friend of mine who had just finished reading my manuscript (Update: The Silence of Trees is with my agent, who is shopping it around to the next round of publishers), and she shared with me an observation that no one has ever brought to my attention:
TSOT has a lot of coffee in it.
This made me laugh, AND take pause. It was certainly not intentional, but once I thought about it, I could see that coffee was often present: the ritual of a morning cup, the luxury of coffee during WWII, the comfort of coffee with a dear friend, and so on.
How very interesting and not altogether surprising.

Oh, it’s GREAT! I’m glad to hear that your agent is taking another crack at it. It’s a wonderful story.
Too much coffee? LOL. Mine has too much smoking, I’ve been told. Everyone is lighting up, puffing and looking for the next smoke. Ha! Never smoked in my life, so I have no idea…
Okay… what is TSOT? (probably when you tell me, I’ll slap my forehead.)
PS. Oh, that was STUPID! It’s the title of your book. DUH… I’ve been like that for the past two weeks. Bear with me.
My novel would be TWOP. Hmmm….
LOL Yes, it’s the title. No worries, that’s the kind of week I’ve been having as well.
🙂
I love the picture you attached to the post. I can’t wait to read this book.
I love that! I’m having coffee as I type!
