The Coldmoon Café follows a rotating cast of mourners, monsters, and misfits who stumble into a mysterious café that only seems to exist for the broken. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

The inspiration was simple; to share the experiences that our close group of friends had. Not only for each other, but with the world. Before it was all forgotten forever.

The supporting characters in this novel, I felt, were intriguing and well-developed. Who was your favorite character to write for?

While it’s hard to pick just one character (as each added their own voice), for me personally, Simon, Mourns and Charity will always share a special place in my heart.

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

The most important themes in The Coldmoon are the same ones that every being faces in life. Finding a way to live through grief and trauma, finding love/friendship, and perseverance. Even when the odds seem insurmountable.

Is this the first book in the series? If so, when is the next book coming out, and what can your fans expect in the next story?

The Coldmoon Cafe took place every night, over many years, but was never intended to survive the test of time. Logs weren’t even recorded for the first 1/2 of its time, and most of the rest became lost to the digital graveyards of floppy and Jazz disks. In this first book, I was able to present some of the most important storylines. While there were many not touched from which a second book could be done, they would all be from after the decline of the Cafe. I could definitely do a follow-up short book to address and wrap things up for the readers if there’s a call for it later. But for now, I’m just happy that The Coldmoon is published and out there to share a part of the darkness most people would never get to experience otherwise.

With this project behind me, I’m currently working on my next books, which will be part of a high fantasy adventure series, comprising at least 3 books. I greatly appreciate your time and attention toward my book, and can’t wait until its release date on Oct. 7th!
