I have become distracted while Ramiro speaks.
“...fly into Rafeal Buelna.”
I straighten. “Let me address my schedule and plan accordingly, Ramiro.”
“Nothing is more important than family, Paco.”
My hand tightens on the receiver. “No one understands that better than I, Ramiro.”
Silence swells between us.
“Adios.”
I don't wait for his response. My visit to the plant in Costa Rica will have to wait. I pick up the phone to let my manager know that trip will be delayed.
A small rough-woven bag, hand-stitched at its top, sits at the corner of my desk. I pluck the strings that keep it tied. They unravel, and I sink my hand into the coffee beans, rolling them through my fingers. They are not unlike a talisman. I have always felt an affinity for the things we put in our bodies. And the coffee I produce is no exception.
Everything we consume should be of value.
Even love.

Acknowledgments
I published both The Druid and Death Series, in 2011 with the encouragement of my husband, and continued because of you, my Reader. Your faithfulness through comments, suggestions, spreading the word and ultimately purchasing my work with your hard-earned money gave me the incentive, means and inspiration to continue.
There are no words that are sufficiently adequate to express my thankfulness for your support.
I truly feel connected to my readers. It is obvious to me, but I'll say the words anyway for clarity: a written work is just words on pages if they are not read by my readers. As I write this I get a lump in my throat; your enjoyment of my work affects me that deeply.
You guys are the greatest, each and every one of ya~
Tamara

Special Thanks:
You, my reader.
My husband, who is my biggest fan.
Cameren, without whom, there would be no books.
