RayAnn Rose James

Welcome to Sit a Spell with RayAnn Rose James. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and stay awhile. This is where stories gather. Some come from an old plastic Jukie Bag filled with memories. Some wander in from everyday life. Others lead us down the dusty roads of my novel trilogy, The Dusty Road Promise. And every now and then, we'll simply visit about whatever life has placed in front of us that day. We'll laugh, remember, wonder, and occasionally chase a thought that wasn't part of the plan. Around here, that's perfectly okay. My hope is that while I'm sharing a piece of my story, you'll begin remembering pieces of your own. Whether you're here for the books, the podcast, or just because you needed a quiet place to land for a little while, I'm glad you stopped by. The coffee's on. Let's see what the Jukie Bag is holding today. See ya later.

Sit a Spell with RayAnn Rose James Life moves fast. So pull up a chair. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, and sit a spell. I'm RayAnn Rose James, and each week I'll welcome you into two places that just might feel like home. First, we'll meet at my little coffee shop, where we'll share stories, memories, and the everyday moments that remind us we're more alike than different. Then, together, we'll step through the bell of the Market and continue the journey of The Dusty Road Promise—a heartfelt novel about a sixteen-year-old boy named Ron who loses everything and slowly discovers that family isn't always the one you're born into. Sometimes it's the one that quietly gathers around you when you need it most. You'll laugh with Joe, Gary, Edna, Alice, and the rest of the Market regulars. You'll celebrate small victories, remember your own firsts, and maybe even see pieces of your own story in theirs. This isn't just a podcast about a novel. It's about belonging. It's about second chances. It's about ordinary people doing extraordinary things simply by showing up for one another. Whether this is your first visit or you've become one of the regulars, I'm glad you're here. There's always a chair waiting for you. See ya later.
