Mornings at Character Café — with Charlotte Harper
We are living on a farm, the Storey’s farm near Keswick. My mother’s childhood friend’s home. It’s been an adventure since the moment we were picked up at the train station by Ian Storey, and I had to ride in the back of the wagon sitting on a hay bale.
A Morning at Character Café — Featuring Thomas
This is the first time we’ve had a knight at Character Café! Welcome, Sir Thomas. Call me Thomas. I’m Sir Hustwell’s page, so I’m still training to become a knight. Thanks for inviting me. It’s good to have a break from our mission. I must say, you’ve been given quite a bit of responsibility for…
A Morning at Character Café — The Ghost Writer
Hello, Lucy! Welcome to Character Café. I’ve heard you’ve been having some pretty unbelievable adventures since you purchased an antique spectresope, along with a whole trunk of magical artifacts, a few months ago. Can you tell us about it while you browse our menu? Definitely. And “pretty unbelievable” sums up my life right now. I…

Many novelists will be present and there are certain to be gifts available to those who earn them by participating. The…
Ivy’s Time in Durham
Despite my effort, Pigeon would not thrive. I fed him buttermilk with the tiny bottle every hour. And I followed all of Mrs. Hudson’s directives, which led to some messy proceedings. I thought perhaps the kitten was cold in my bed chamber, the second floor of Birmingham Hall being quite drafty with September’s bluster. I…
An Afternoon at Character Café with Rachel from Lilac Cottage
Come on in and join me for some tea and a sweet or savory, Rachel. Totally my treat – because I know you are going through some tough things right now. Thanks, Amy! I have to admit, I’m more of a French press coffee kind of gal but if you have some strong black tea,…
A Morning at Character Café — featuring Ivy from A Brighter Dawn
Oh, Ivy. I didn’t expect you would be up to dropping by Character Café for a while. I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Thank you, Amy. It is all still surreal. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that my parents are gone. As I began reading your story,…
A Morning at Character Café: Olivia from Mail-Order Bride Substitute
Good morning, Olivia. Welcome to Character Café. Wow! You are far from your old life as a rich city gal. Are you hanging in there okay, out in the wilderness with the Shannon family? Thank you for the welcome. I am doing just fine. I can’t say it hasn’t been difficult. My best friend and…
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at Character Café
Featuring Characters from Voices in the Sanitorium Over a decade ago, I had a tea party with two of my best friends on the grounds of the former West Mountain Sanitarium located on the hillside above Scranton, Pennsylvania. Thus began my fascination with the history of tuberculosis and specifically the staff and patients who had…
Mornings at Character Cafe — featuring Lottie from the Brides of Pelican Rapids series
Welcome to Character Café, Miss Charlotte Kennedy. Oh, I’d be obliged if you’d call me Lottie. We don’t hold to formalities these days, as much as my Pa wishes it weren’t so. Pa would like to pretend the War of Rebellion never took place, Magnolia Glen wasn’t stripped of all its silver and jewelry, Mama’s…
