This week, the mic flips as Cuddles takes over hosting duties to interview a newly published author — who just happens to be her co-host, Coffee! In this playful and heartfelt conversation, Coffee shares the inspiration, vision, and humor behind his debut novella: “There’s a New Guy in Town (And the Old Gods Are Pssed).”*
Together, they discuss mythology, Christianity, the writing process, and what it means to bring a quirky, demigod-centered story into the world without preaching — but with a whole lot of curiosity, heart, and surprise.
📚 Topics Covered:
- Coffee’s surprise book drop (even Cuddles didn’t know!)
- Why the old gods might be jealous of baby Jesus
- A demigod’s divine mission to ancient Jerusalem
- Satire, faith, and writing without being “preachy”
- Self-publishing, revisions, and the heartbreak of editing
- Upcoming projects (including Coffee’s memoir and a long-lost Civil War-era novel idea)
💬 Quotes from the Episode:
“It’s not Sunday school — but it’s not sacrilegious either. It’s somewhere in between Zeus and Jesus.”“I wrote 30,000 words and decided to weed-whack later.”“Even miracles don’t always show up loud. Sometimes they come quietly, in small, strange ways.”“This isn’t a conversion tool — but if someone finds God while laughing at my demigod, I’m cool with that.”
