BREAKING NEWS: Story Title + Summary Reveal

and an author interview with my illustrator!

Hello, friends, and welcome to another post from The Kindness Cafe! Here I am posting on another Saturday, but I have some awesome news to share with y’all, and this couldn’t wait…

I am now able to reveal the title and summary for my story in Firefly Tales!

Introducing:

Cecil’s Conundrum

Isn’t the title great? I had such a hard time coming up with it, but when it finally clicked, it was absolutely perfect for my story.

Here’s the summary blurb:

Since he was a teenager, Cecil Bowich has bounced from job to job—but none of them have ever felt right. When a storm separates him from his newest bosses, spooks his horse, and leaves him lost in the middle of an unknown land, Cecil finds himself on an unexpected adventure. With the help of a quirky middle-aged woman, a helpful wagon driver, and an unlikely friend, Cecil must decide if he’s ready to pursue the passion that’s been inside him the whole time.

I can ALSO share the identity of my amazing illustrator. Joshua R.S. Myers is not only an amazing author and friend, but his illustrations for “Cecil’s Conundrum” are incredible! I’m so lucky to have Joshua’s illustrations accompany my story in Firefly Tales.

Joshua and I did an author interview for Firefly Tales, which came out yesterday! We talked about our stories, inspirations, the anthology process, dreams, and much, much more. Click below to read it now!
