BookTalk for July 2026 - Moonstones: Feliz Family 1,200-Mile De Anza Expedition Story
On this episode of Ink, Coffee, and Regrets: BookTalk the host discusses ”Moonstones” by Carla Rosas Stanley, a short fictionalized account of the 1775–1776 Juan Bautista de Anza expedition. Told through the eyes of Loretta, a young girl traveling 1,200 miles with her family and a caravan of 250 people to what is now San Francisco, the book traces desert, mountain, and valley landscapes while capturing the intimate rhythms of daily life on the trail. Topics covered include family and communal dynamics, coping strategies (Loretta’s ritual of collecting a stone for each day and month), coming-of-age themes, moments of loss and hope, and the book’s accessibility for both adults and children. The host praises the warm storytelling and quick read (about 185 pages) while noting it’s more a personal narrative than a deep historical study. Key takeaways: a strong recommendation for readers looking for character-driven historical fiction, commentary on pacing and length, where to find links on the host’s site.

Ink, Intent, and the Soul of Writing
Samuel explores why writers should write with intentionality—what he calls the engine—and how writing also serves as the soul: art, a practical tool, and a path to personal growth. This solo episode breaks down intention vs. outcome, how purpose acts as a compass and filter, and how knowing your audience reshapes tone, pacing, and structure. Samuel discusses writing as an art that creates experience and emotion, and as a tool for clarifying thought, journaling, and managing daily life. He shares examples from his reading life, reflections on journaling and healing, and how writing can reveal patterns, foster honesty, and aid in self-discovery. Key takeaways and prompts include a 200-word challenge to write with one explicit purpose, and a second exercise to write about a moment you misunderstood yourself. Samuel invites listeners to share their pieces via email (samuel@inkcoffeeandregrets.com) and reflects on the podcast’s nearly one-year milestone.

BookTalk for June 2026 - He Quoted Scripture, I Lived It — A Memoir of Faith, Fear, and Reclamation
On this episode of Ink Coffee and Regrets we discuss Terrie Mayka’s memoir ”He Quoted Scripture, I Lived It” — a candid account of growing up with Scripture used as a tool of control and spiritual abuse. Through plain, steady storytelling, Terrie reveals how spiritual authority can be twisted into subtle shaming, correction, and silence. The episode examines her quiet awakenings, the slow reclaiming of voice and faith, and the emotional cost of silence, offering the memoir as a testimony to courage, healing, and the power of naming the truth.
