First Cup of Coffee – Friday, October 3 2025



Happy The Life of a Showgirl day!!! Team Jeffe is really Team Swiftie, and all of us are hand-hearting. Do we have any outfit ideas inspired by The Black Dog for the movie premiere on Sunday? In other news, let’s talk about asynchronous order of events in writing and how Octavia Butler uses this plus foreshadowing to craft an excellent story. And also an idea brewing about how I can use such things to satisfy my creative urges.

First Cup of Coffee – September 5, 2025

Supporting creativity, creators, and their creations vs. demanding a product and how parasocial relationships have fostered a tension there. Self-love and self-care vs. self-indulgence. Also, I turned in AMONG THE THORNS!



First Cup of Coffee – August 8, 2025

All about the extraordinary thing that happened this week regarding NEVER THE ROSES – and about serendipity, bolts of lightning, what you can and can’t plan for, and why I love working with smart women who also talk about skin care routines.



First Cup of Coffee – August 1, 2025

My recap of San Diego Comic Con, including the amazing panel I got to be on there and what I learned about worldbuilding details from it. We talked about debt and finance in mind-blowing ways!



First Cup of Coffee – July 22, 2025

Part two of my book tour recap for NEVER THE ROSES! All about Columbus Book Festival and my terrible day where I could not seem to get anywhere on time or do anything correctly. And then I flew to NYC!



First Cup of Coffee – July 18, 2025

I’m back from Book Tour and super revved that NEVER THE ROSES debuted at #29 on the USA Today Bestseller list! Today is part 1 of the tour, who I saw, how it went, and all the other (not-so) salacious details!
