THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM...

I've been off coffee for two weeks. It has been rough. Now I am looking at the calendar and seeing how much work I have to do to get the next Midnight Rules book in fighting shape, and tea ain't gonna cut it. So within the next hour, I will drink the first cup of coffee I've had in 15 days.

This is the longest I've gone without coffee since the '90s. There is simply none left in my system. So when I reintroduce it... I don't know what to expect.

Possibly I will explode.
