Chapters between Chapters #012 – Ode to Coffee

EARLY ACCESS – Members Only:

Todd got assigned a poetry page and treated it like a crisis.

At Mel’s, he solved it the only way he knows how: work, stubbornness, and enough coffee to turn a normal evening into a public announcement.

The result is funny, sincere, and completely Todd.

Early Access — Members Only
Ode to Coffee is available now on Patreon for members.

This is a standalone “Chapter Between Chapters,” written from Anna’s point of view, following a lit-class poetry assignment, a diner booth workshop with an unexpected retired English teacher, and the kind of kindness that doesn’t ask for credit.

• Patreon Release: February 1, 2026
• Free Chapter Release: February 15, 2026

The story of Charles, Anna, and Todd is not built around paywalls. If you would rather wait, this chapter will be available freely two weeks after the membership only release.

Membership is appreciated, but never required. The world of Skelderheim and the Central Expanse is meant to be shared.

What’s included:

• 5.5″ x 8.5″ Booklet Half Page
• 8.5″ x 11″ Full Page
• Chapter Cover images for both sizes
