This is what I am up to this month, NaNoWriMo, so Monday blog posts will be slim in content. I am working on the first draft(s) for the Red Line Coffee Mystery series. The prequel, Roasts & Rumors, is almost done and then I will start book one, Ventis & Victims.
Roasts & Rumors, is meant to introduce you to the characters that will be featured in the trilogy. It’s been fun building more characters since I initially started with just the three owners and three victims. As usual the list grows. I also like to find photos to use to help give me a visual sense of people and places.
Owners of Red Line Coffee Shop
Garrett Phillips aka Flipper
Brett Davis aka Smokey
Stephanie (Stevie) Williams aka Grizz
Employees of Red Line Coffee Shop
Carl Jacobs aka Mugs – kitchen
