      <image:title>HOME - Welcome to Coffee and Cake @ 8.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I always enjoy a good cup of coffee, could inhale an entire platter of chocolate fudge cake, but write? Writing is, without a doubt, what I love to do the most. Whether it is eight in the morning, or eight at night. It is my passion...has been for years, and I'll continue to write until I can write no more.</image:caption>
