Muffins and Tea

By R. J. Taylor
Regular price $15.00
Book cover type

Muffins and Tea is the semi-fictional tale of the moment a May-December neighborhood friendship becomes something more. The snippets of serious subject matter are offset by an offbeat sense of humor as it follows Rob, a divorced man in his fifties and his budding relationship with Sandi, a woman in her thirties.

About the author:

R.J. Taylor spent 30 years as a shipping manager for an aromatic chemical manufacturer before he decided to indulge his long-standing on-again, off-again desire to be an author by writing the finished story Muffins and Tea as well as a yet-to-be-finished novel.

He is a dad to an amazing adult daughter, Kelsey, and a cat dad to Houdini.

When not testing the limits of the spelling and grammar function of his preferred writing app, he enjoys reading World War II histories and modern-day techno-thrillers, photography, gardening, grooving to the tunes of the 70s and 80s, and spending time with family. He is also a lifelong New York Yankees and long-suffering Tennessee Titans fan as well as an avid supporter of the sport known as the beautiful game - soccer.

Sometimes you surprise yourself

I read the first few pages of this novella's preview, decided to give it a shot and was pleasantly surprised with the entire story. The plot hooked my quick and moved along at an easy pace without getting too bogged down in details, although there were some character details that could have been fleshed out a bit more. That said, the author did a nice job overall of portraying the sweet awkwardness that sometimes accompanies the early stages of a May-December romance. I gave this novella a solid 4 rating based on the story holding my interest to the end, the funny anecdotes and witty back & forths sprinkled throughout, and also being able to identify with certain aspects of both Rob and Sandi. Hopefully the author will have a follow up in the works.
