This story is currently free on Amazon & Barnes & Noble but it will be going up to $0.99 soon. Could be today–I’m not sure when it will happen.

I’m a “home-roaster” (that’s what coffee geeks who roast their own coffee beans at home call themselves), so this story was especially fun for me to write. I think a story comes alive when a writer uses a variety of senses to describe a scene or a setting. I took a look at my own writing and thought I was weak in the “smell” department. To most people, being weak in this area might not be a bad thing, but not for a writer!

So I decided to write a story emphasizing the sense of smell, as a way to practice. This is what came out.

Does it stink? You tell me.
