Author Description

DARK TEA is a novel that weaves together thirteen eclectic, stand-alone short stories and one haiku. Some of the stories are humorous and quirky, some are serious and eerie, all are light horror - no guts and gore - and all feature tea.Rosella Ciobanu, psychic and tasseographer, has an unusual method. She reads tea leaves, not to tell fortunes, but instead, to direct her clients to stories that will help them work through their particular problems on their own. The novel unfolds during two days of Madame Ciobanu's readings. Most of her clients will read their assigned stories and find the truth they seek, but a few will not. Most of the characters in the individual stories will triumph in their encounters with the dark side of tea, but not all will. See how Rosella, with the aid of her fictional ghosts, demons, and paranormal creatures, works to guide each client out of their present darkness, enabling them to become heroes in their own stories.
