Jim Dooley

Jim Dooley spent much of his life in larger cities before eventually following his grandchildren to small-town America. There he discovered that a simple coffee shop can be a front-row seat to the humor, conversations, and quiet stories of everyday people. Inspired by the characters he observed, Dooley wrote Coffee Shop Dwellers to offer readers a lighthearted look at the personalities who appear wherever people gather over a cup of coffee.
