Midnight at Cornelia’s is a short romcom packed with karaoke chaos, bar trivia, and a meet-cute that hits all the right notes.
Olivia wasn’t looking for company. Nate wasn’t planning to share his fries.
But one late-night barstool, a dangerously charming music teacher, and a Taylor Swift duet might just turn this trauma surgeon’s throwaway Thursday into something worth remembering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is series Taylor Thursdays at Cornelia’s all about?
These are romantic comedy romps with deep feels and full hearts. Each book stands on its own but is tied together by one very special place: Cornelia’s — that home-away-from-home bar we all wish existed just down the street.
At the heart of every story is a heroine who’s stepping fully into who she is. She’s too loud, too soft, too much, too everything — and proud of it. She doesn’t shrink to fit anyone else’s expectations. And the man who’s lucky enough to love her? He wouldn’t ask her to.
All of this unfolds on Taylor Thursdays — the karaoke-and-trivia nights where the mic is hot, the friendships are real, and the welcome is loud.
Come as you are. We’ve got a seat saved for you, a song with your name on it, and a community that’s always glad you showed up.
So–sex.
Ah, the heat-level question. Let’s just say–there’s sizzle… and then we dim the lights and let your imagination take it from there.
When we fade to black, it’s pretty clear our couple isn’t just dancing in the dark — but we give them their privacy. Think classic black-and-white movie tension: longing looks, charged banter, a brush of fingertips that says everything. And then, fade-out.
Some stories turn up the heat more than others, because every relationship is different. Chris follows where the story leads… right up to that gentle moment when the heroine shakes her head and says, “That’s far enough for now.”
So they always have a happily-ever-after?
That’s certainly what they’re telling Chris as he writes ‘The End’.
These stories lean to slow burn, even if the timeline is sometimes fast, so Chris always writes an Epilogue, just so he’ll know for sure what happens next.
But Chris reserves the right to honor the story, and go where the characters take him, so no hard and fast rules about any future stories.
Rules just stifle and anger the muses. That would be–unwise. This writer knows better!
Where can I find these books?
You’ll find all of Chris’s books right here — available as ebooks, paperbacks, and sometimes whispered about in your favorite reader groups. Start anywhere, or follow the glitter trail from Midnight at Cornelia’s all the way to your next favorite couple.
