Former Davis Square resident Heather Albano is pleased to announce the publication of her first novel!

TIMEPIECE is a steampunk time travel adventure about a girl, a pocket watch, Frankenstein’s monster, the Battle of Waterloo, and giant clockwork robots taking over London - no, really - and it was largely written in Davis Square coffee shops!

Download it for your Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/Timepiece-ebook/dp/B005QD0TGG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317661582&sr=8-1

Download it for your Nook: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/timepiece-heather-albano/1106037183?ean=2940013366398&itm=1&usri=heather%2balbano

Or download it for pretty much every e-reader format that exists, as well as pdf, plain text, and html: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/93451

It is 99 cents on all platforms.

Heck, at this point we may as well list all of our favorite coffee places. I was about to add in "the Sherman" in Union Square (but never "the Bloc 11", though I do like them as well)

I've always called it "the diesel". (And it was back then that I used to go there, now that you mention it...)

I remember when the Diesel opened, and I have always referred to it that way. I also do this with theaters: the Kendall, the Brattle, the Somerville, the ART. And bars, to some extent. And who can forget "Dolly's at the Kay & Chips"?

I think the rule is basically, if it's "X cafe" you can call it "the X," but if it's "Y's cafe" or "cafe Y" you have to call it "Y" for short. Same if instead of "cafe" you have "restaurant," "bistro," "theater," "diner," or "bar and grille," etc.

PS: does this mean I should be posting to DSLJ every time I publish something?

no, just every time you publish a first novel :)

I've been a Davis Denizen since the early 1990's and this is the first I've heard of it being called "the" Diesel. Although I always called it "the" Someday...amongst other things.
