Hello everybody! Guess what?
It’s yet another book blast ^_^’.
(Contrary to what my blog seems to reveal at this point, this isn’t supposed to be a reviewer/book blog, so my next post will not, in fact, be a blast or a post about books.)
This time it’s The Devil Drinks Coffee by Destiny Ford.
Hooray!
The book I’m going to dish about today is a bit
quirky, which will hopefully pique the interest of lots of readers. The title gave me a moment of pause—is this
going to be worth it?—but after reading about it, I’ve decided it sounds pretty
interesting.
I’m going to give you a synopsis, some author info, a link to an excerpt so
you can test the waters, some purchase links, and then there’s going to be a super sweet INTL giveaway
you can enter!
Onto the synopsis!
The Devil Drinks Coffee Summary
By Angela Corbett, writing as Destiny Ford
A cow suicide, a revolving door rescue, and the birth of a
bright purple pig are starting to make Kate Saxee wonder if taking a job in her
small hometown of Branson Falls, Utah, was such a great idea. As The Branson
Tribune editor, Kate covers local news, which, more often than not, involves
her accident-prone mom. Nothing truly newsworthy has ever happened in the quiet
town until local teen Chelsea Bradford turns up dead in a Branson Falls lake.
The police rule Chelsea’s death an accident, but Kate
suspects there’s more to the story—and she’s not the only one. Two of Branson’s
most eligible bachelors are determined to help her solve the crime—among other
things. But the small town social network is faster than Twitter, and gossip
about Kate’s love-life is quickly branding her the Branson Falls hussy.
As Kate learns more about Chelsea, she discovers that plenty
of people are trying to cover up the real story behind the girl’s
death—including Chelsea’s parents. Now Kate has to juggle work, men, her mom’s
most recent disaster involving a low-speed John Deere Combine chase on the
freeway, and fend off the Mormons heaven-bent on saving her soul—all while
solving Chelsea’s murder. Dealing with this is going to require a lot of
coffee, chocolate frosted donuts, Neil Diamond’s greatest hits, and a slew of
words not on the town approved imitation swear list.
I told you it was a bit quirky. But still, interesting, no?

Now let’s find out more about Destiny Ford (aka Angela
Corbett)!
As a child, Angela Corbett’s most prized possession was a
set of read-along books. She used to follow along with the narrator on the
stereo and dream of when she would be able to read by herself. Her childhood
reading habit led her to consider her future career. However, after consulting
with her parents, she realized she had already exceeded hobbit height and since
fairies and dragonslayers were tricky jobs to get, she decided she wanted to
create worlds of her own. She started writing poetry in elementary school and
worked as a journalist in high school and college, but could never leave her
love for writing fiction behind.
She is a graduate of Westminster College where she double
majored in communication and sociology. She has worked as a journalist, freelance
writer, and director of communications and marketing. She loves classic cars,
traveling, and escaping in a good book. She lives in Utah with her incredibly
supportive husband and their five-pound Pomeranian, Pippin, whose following of
fangirls could rival Justin Bieber’s.
Eternal Starling is her debut novel and the first book in
the Emblem of Eternity trilogy.
