Coalescence Coffee Company

I just finished painting the sign for Coalescence Coffee Company. They're based in Norfolk but have just opened a shop in Richmond. I have to go back and fix the 'L' and the 'E'. There's a dip in the wall and from the ground it appears to bend down. 

 

My Newest Story

I TRY TO SAVE MY WRITING posts for my writing blog: johnpriceauthor.wordpress.com but I thought I'd post about my latest story here. I've written 16 short stories and have begun self-publishing them, releasing one every few months. The stories are all set in Richmond, VA and while each story stands alone (you can read them either in order or not or read just one) someone from each story makes an appearance later on. The idea is to show how all of our lives are connected. How often have we had a mutual friend with someone and not know it?

"Oh you know Chris? Oh my god, I've been friends with Chris for years!" 

"Really? We all should get together and have lunch one day!!"

We've all been there. These stories are no different. In the first story, Happy Little Sheds, a lady walks up to Mark Bolton's art stand named Carolyn. She's the main character in the next story, Hello, Carolyn. Her grandkids have a story of their own, The New Gardeners.

I could go on and on, but I'd love for you to read them for yourself. The latest story can be purchased here for .99 Message Not Delivered and is the 8th and final story in the collection. There will be 2 volumes, and the first 8 stories will make up the first volume. 

Message Not Delivered is a supernatural thriller and may not be suitable for readers under 18. I may do a small post here on my art blog in the upcoming weeks of all the stories.
