Kathie’s note: Fiona and I were members of a local group of writers called the Coffee Consortium back in the late aughts, early 2010s. A dozen of us, give or take, would meet at the library or a coffeeshop and talk shop, and usually bitch and moan about editors and assignments, hahaha. It was wonderful. Camaraderie is one of my favorite things in life!
