Slow Brewing Tea by Randy Loubier

Isaiah set off on a ten day motorcycle adventure in northern, rural Japan. His quest, at the age of twenty, was to photograph the quiet mysterious culture, meet a Japanese woman and find The Tao (the way). He took stunning photographs, fell deeply in love with an extraordinary Japanese woman and found an old man willing to teach him the way, the truth and the narrow gate. Over the next forty years Isaiah’s life tumbles through lessons of pain and redemption, loss and victory in search of a path of unconditional love and faith.

Randy was kind enough to send me a copy of Slow Brewing Tea. It’s always exciting for me to see a book I’ve worked on in print! Congrats to Randy for his work being a 2022 Christian Indie Awards Finalist!

Slow Brewing Tea by Randy Loubier causes readers to look more deeply at their relationships with God and their loved ones. I thoroughly enjoyed putting my skills to the test with this book. This book was Randy’s first dive into the fiction book space and was looking for help on how to develop his story and characters. After reading his manuscript, I helped Randy dial in the story, bring his characters to life, and keep the plot moving and the reader engaged. It’s always exciting to see a book in print after my work has been completed. Here’s what he had to say about my input.

“My friend and literary editor Zoey Lackie provided the most extensive structural input. Her feedback, at a time when I thought I was nearly finished, caused me to toil for another year to incorporate her ideas into the finished book. The characters’ attributes, attitudes, and voices changed. The integration of the back-story was overhauled and the love story was tenderized.”
