Meet the Author
Ever since she was little, Ann Gutorra escaped into stories. Reading became a core part of her being, pushing her into teaching English to high school, then middle school students. She even earned her Reading Specialist degree to help kids fall in love with reading. Now, Ann writes all things fantasy. Her stories have strong connections to magic and found families. When she's not devouring fantasy books or creating new worlds, she obsessing over magical girl anime and Kingdom Hearts, watching true crime documentaries, walking outside, or playing with her spoiled cat, Gizmo.
A Darker Roast
In the fourteen stories featured in this collection, the familiar comfort of a coffee shop intersects with the paranormal. Ghosts and spirits, witches and werewolves, cryptids and more lurk within these pages.
