    I actually looked up and read a bit more on the style you claim to have used. I still hold up my initial premise. I can only imagine that you WANT people to read it. That's the point. That style either is to niche in its "clinical" and "programming" approach OR simply to much of a bother to...

    I loved Paris. I lived in Mannheim, Germany at the time. So it was easy to get to Paris by train. I thought Mexican Hot Chocolate would also have chili powder like traditional chocolate?

    Oh my. Testing my coffee skills. Café au lait, I've actually had it under the Eiffel Tower when I lived in Europe from 90-94. Yes, I did the stupid American thing and bought an adorable red beret and had it like it's supposed to be with warm milk. Alright. You hit me with French, and since...

    @TachimeSan Good afternoon! Lets have some brunch and enjoy your story - The Rise of Raruk Warwulf My brunch menu is a little more traditional in the way that I add omelets and waffles, along with mimosa's and Blood Mary's. However, I am going to pass on the alcohol and stick with my jasmine...

    @Rookieqw I've been up early and while making a fresh batch of scones, thought I would entertain myself by reading your story - Duty, Empty Dreams and Trying Not to Become a Monster So have one of these fresh scones and some peach tea, then we can discuss your story. For the purpose of this...

    I'm not easily confused! It just looks like I'm tweaking on coffee. Anyway, pull up and have a seat while I pour tea for the others. Rest assured I will customize your experience. @Rookieqw and @TachimeSan - you both are on deck. I'll be looking at Duty, Empty Dreams and Trying Not to Become...

    @davimai We have coffee cake and Brazilian coffee tonight. So let me brew you a cup and we can go over your book: Nobody’s Princess I've read the Synopsis and the only chapter you have! When I read the synopsis, I immediately thought of the book The Prince and the pauper. There are lots of...

    @N.K.Watson Your barrister has completed her tour of your book, Divided. Have a seat with me while I refill your cup and hand out another plate of ... Not Sable- nah, I won't spoil it. Since I can get long winded, I will get right into this. For the purposes of understanding the story, I read...

    Welcome to the Cafe! I've been really busy as you've seen, but the good news is that I appreciate someone that likes a classic. Black coffee, but I insist on you staying while I get caught up. I'll even toss in a cinnamon bun for the trouble. I'll take a look at your lovely story. Thanks for...

    How do you get book covers for your book

    There's nothing wrong with your cover. I am not real sure how a person walking with mountains in the background denotes the need of murder.

    Welcome to the Cafe! I am thinking Earl Grey for you. Yes, I will happily take a look - thank for for telling me what you use for your editing tools, that could be the entire difference. I don't think using an editor makes it AI, but that's just ME. I have a couple ahead of you, so give me...

    @sbdrag Pull up a seat and have a cup of coffee to go! Why? It's not what you might be thinking. I took a look at your story: Demon King's Gardner For the purposes of the review, I read the following: - In Which the Demon King Meets His Gardener - In Which a Princess Arrives at the Castle -...

    You're very welcome. A screenwriter huh? Well, then I have every faith that the little things will disappear. The past/present messed me up so badly when I started Vivienne, I seriously started over. I had eight chapters finished and took it back to the drawing board, and used the bits I could...

    Good evening Davimai, There's plenty of seats in the café, you are more than welcome and while you're checking it the menu, I'll peek at your story. I have a few other customers, but I promise I'll get you a finely crafted coffee. @nyankat - I've finally had the pleasure of reading your only...

    You were fine to begin with. I think the more you get into what you want to see on the page, the more your style will come out. You've got lots to say, I can't wait to see what you come up with :)

    @Paul_Tromba Good afternoon. I do hope you are ready for some coffee and hazelnut creamer, along with a lovely...maple bacon...doughnut. Trust me they are to die for. Anyway, I've had the delightful opportunity to look over your story. The Supernatural Case of an Accidental Time Traveler...

    Good morning @AdOtherwise Come on over to the hearth and we can have a nice little fireside chat over a white chocolate mocha. This little chat is about your book Lowly-Ascent, as indicated in your request. I read the synopsis. There was something too clean, too perfect with it as I took it...

    Time to Gab with Gabrielle. Hello again @Cookiez_N_Potionz. Good news, I've taken a look into your book. For the sake of the impressions, I read Chapters 1,2, & 3. It was chapter 1 that set the tone and because of it, I didn't jump chapters. Chapter 1 I found the narrative really difficult to...

    Ohhh welcome to the Cafe. Nothing like a time travel concept. I watch paradoxical videos on time travel all the time. It's the butterfly effect and the Andromeda paradox I love most. Paul, I have a cup of chrono coffee from Hawaii just for you. For you we will step back to when milk came from...
