Coffee Fueled Sunday Mornings

Sunday morning is more than a day of the week. It’s a state of mind: a steaming cup, a quiet porch, and a memory that sneaks up between sips.

In Coffee Fueled Sunday Mornings, James Allen, writing as The Sawdust Sage™, brings together poetry, reflection, humor, and everyday observation. These pages wander from the sawdust of the workshop to the rituals of love, from the ache of memory to the unexpected wisdom found in ordinary moments.

Some pieces will make you laugh. Others may stop you mid-sip. All are meant to be taken slowly, like a second cup you didn’t know you needed.

Inside are reflections on love, loss, laughter, work, family, memory, and the strange little moments that stay with us. There are stories from the workshop, the farmer’s market, the back porch, and everyday life—pieces that often feel less like formal essays or poems and more like conversations with an old friend.

Whether you read one page with your morning coffee or settle in for the whole pot, Coffee Fueled Sunday Mornings is a collection for anyone who believes stories, like coffee, are better when shared.

Pour a cup. Pull up a chair. Let the morning begin.

The Origin of 
​Coffee Fueled Sunday Mornings

I wanted to create a book that felt like a quiet Sunday morning on the patio with a cup of coffee in hand and nowhere you needed to be.

That was the mood from the beginning: unhurried, comfortable, reflective, and a little unpredictable. The kind of morning where you read a few pages, stare out across the yard for a while, take another sip, and let a memory or stray thought wander in.

Coffee Fueled Sunday Mornings grew from that feeling. The poems, reflections, humor, and observations are meant to be read the same way—slowly, casually, and without pressure. Not necessarily cover to cover in one sitting, but a piece or two at a time, like sharing a long conversation over another cup of coffee.
