Welcome to Side Street!

Hi everyone!
I've dedicated this little corner of the web to Side Street, or as some of you may know as "The Coffee Shop". Under each tab you'll find all the hard work and research that I poured into this project, with links to hidden gems along Maine's coast and organizations for those who are in need of guidance and don't quite know where to get it. I update the pages frequently, so check back often! Thanks for stopping by!

Update.

I know that I haven't posted the continuation of Caleb and Peyton's story for many months, and for that I apologize. To be frank, these past few months I've been a bit at a loss on how to conclude their narrative, as inspiration comes in bits and spurts. (My nonhuman story flows with relative ease in comparison!) I've rewritten the final three chapters so many times over that I've lost count. Nothing seems to fit and I've begun to realize on this journey of mine that forcing chapters is the equivalent of crummy chapters, something that I can't bring myself to post. I have in the past and I cringe every time I look over those submissions. I simply can't let this happen to Caleb and Peyton.

Until inspiration has struck, "The Coffee Shop" will be on hold indefinitely. As much as it pains me to write those words, it has to be done. I can't keep putting it off any longer and my promises of "a TCS chapter next!" or "Return to Peyton and Caleb...after this!" just ring hollow now.

I apologize for the wait, I really do. But would you readers ever forgive me if I wrote a fluffy, happy ending with strings still loose, just to have a submission in place? No, I think not.

So give me time, I beg you. Much needed time, in fact, so I can properly plan this out and have a conclusion worth the wait.

Once again, I apologize for the delay, but I beg of you -- remain vigilant. I have little intention of quitting my tale, so never give up hope on that front. And as always, I will post teasers and announcements here, on this blog, as well as my other blog and on Twitter.

XO,

    The end will appear, when it is ready. Some days we look to the forest for the answer and on that day it was realy just the tree. Another day we focus on the tree but the answer is the leaf. We focus on the leaf and the answer is the clinging dew on the leaf. Then we focus on the dew when the answer really is the forest. The end is a riddle and sometimes a cruel joke but the best of times is when it is a warm heart and understanding soul.

    I will wait patiently, but don't let it slip through the cracks. It's a beautiful story that has brought me to tears, try to continue to heal both of them. : )
