Sipping on Sweet Romance: My Time in The Coffee Loft Series

February 26, 20252 min read

When I first had the opportunity to write in The Coffee Loft multi-author series, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Writing in a shared world with so many talented authors was an absolute joy, but it was also slightly terrifying if I'm totally honest.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of this journey was working with a wide variety of authors. Each of us brought something unique to the table, and it was inspiring to see how our different voices came together to create a cohesive and heartwarming series. The collaborative spirit was infectious, and I learned so much from my fellow authors. The support and camaraderie throughout the process made writing this series an experience I’ll always treasure.

Another element that made The Coffee Loft so special was the rom-com vibe. Writing a romantic comedy was both challenging and fun! I had to tap into a different side of my creativity, balancing humor, heart, and those sweet moments that make a romance unforgettable. I’ll admit, I had to move out of my comfort zone a bit, but in the end, it was so rewarding to embrace the joyful side of storytelling and hopefully share a bit of laughter with my readers.

Each season of The Coffee Loft has allowed me to stretch my creative wings and brush off some of those dad jokes my kids are always complaining about. I'm honored to have shared a few hours with you as you've settled in with a warm drink, a cozy blanket, and a new Coffee Loft read. Thank you for being amazing readers, fans, and friends.

Speaking of readers – WOW. The response to The Coffee Loft series has been nothing short of incredible. The readers are truly amazing! They’ve been so enthusiastic, voracious in their reading, and incredibly supportive of all the authors involved. By sharing about the books, leaving amazing reviews, and just being the amazing group they are, they've forever left an impression on my heart. Their encouragement has made every moment of this journey even more meaningful, and I’m so grateful for the community we’ve built together.

As many of you know, my books in The Coffee Loft aren’t just part of a separate world—they're connected to my Piney Brook Wishes series, which has a special place in my heart since it was the first series I ever wrote. The Coffee Loft is part of that same cozy small-town atmosphere, and I can’t wait to explore how it ties into my upcoming Apple Blossom Ranch series, where new love stories await.

I’m so excited for you to experience these worlds, and I can’t wait to continue sharing them with you. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
