New Book by Lauren Scott – More Than Coffee

~ John W. Howell

Today I am very pleased to be part of Lauren Scott’s launch of her new book More Than Coffee. This has been a labor of love for Lauren, and she is excited to finally see the launch of her latest. It is a collection of prose and verse.

BOOK BLURB:

From the early woes of childhood and teen years, this collection of stories and poems paints a picture of young dreams and fears. But as adulthood sets in, these dreams and fears change. More than Coffee touches on love and loss, nature and endurance, marriage and parenting. In these memories, humor diffuses fear, and taking risks proves to be a powerful method in boosting self-confidence. Through it all, whether in the wilderness near a sparkling lake or in the comfort of home, there’s nothing like a good cup of coffee. A poignant and reflective collection of verse and prose that is best enjoyed sipping your favorite coffee roast.

AUTHOR INFO:

Lauren has authored two collections of poetry: New Day, New Dreams (2013) and Finding a Balance (2015). In the last couple of years, she began exploring memories from her past, penning them into short memoirs. She lives in Northern California with her husband, Matthew, and their lovable canine, Copper; they have two adult children. Family has been an aspect of life she has always held dear. From her experiences over three decades: raising a family, grieving through loss, finding joy in the smallest things, and the many backpacking and camping adventures, her writing takes a magical path of its own.

The marvelous wild world that surrounds her: the smell of the woods, the sound of a babbling brook, and the chorus of birds never disappoint in providing inspiration. Recent backpacking trips with Matthew along the California coast and Sierra Nevada have stirred up thoughts to write about love, lost friendship, family, and the possibility that anything can happen. Hikes along the Paper Mill Creek remind her that life is fragile. From trout hatchlings to swallowtail butterflies, Lauren is marveled at how the world is interconnected and that every living thing matters. She is a poet, short memoir writer, and nature lover who hopes her readers will find a little nugget of delight, comfort, or understanding in her poetry and stories – some detail that resonates with them beyond her words.

    2. Thanks so much, Denise. The cover photo was taken at Spider Lake in the Sierra Mountains on one of the backpacking trips with my husband (Lily Pads is the story in my book). 🙂 And it was a magical place, to say the least. Thanks again, and more hugs to John for hosting.

    2. My thoughts exactly, Resa! I’ve been on Cloud 9 for a week now. 🙂 I don’t know about Kobo, but I’ll look into it. I know the e-book is on barnesandnoble.com. Otherwise, Amazon is the only option. I’ll let you know and thanks so much for your support! Big hugs! And yes, John is a great promotor! 🙂 ❤️
