Random Info About Me: I have three kids: 5, 3, and 1 plus one on the way. You’ve Got Mail is my all-time favorite movie. I play it in the hospital room every time I’m in labor. I once got a job for the Jerry Springer Show. I quit after one day. I like Booberry cereal for dinner. Sushi scares me. I make espresso drinks everyday (decaf when pregnant). I listen to audio books every time I’m in the car. When I was in college I applied for internships with Party of Five and All My Children. I got calls from both but alas, no job. I was the president and founder of our local New Kids on the Block fan club when I was like 13. I do ALL of my writing in coffee shops. I have a Masters in Writing from DePaul University and taught there in the evenings for six years.
THE ESPRESSOLOGIST Synopsis:
The Espressologist is In
Fridays 6-10 p.m.
Come in for a little latte and love.
That’s the sign outside of a local Chicago Wired Joe’s every Friday night when jerky boss Derek Peters finds out about 17-year old barista and high school senior Jane Turner’s unique talent to match couples based on their favorite coffee drink (which she calls Espressology). He decides to capitalize on it-turning Jane into the holiday promotion for the month of December. She’s never been wrong, sales are through the roof, and the line of people each Espressology night wraps the block. But can it be too much of a good thing? During an interview with a talk show at the height of Jane’s fame, she is faced with a dilemma, lose her love or lose her credibility? Or possibly lose it all, including her best friend.
