Oct 31 2024 32 mins  
We're back! After a long hiatus Day Drinking With Authors is back with more fantastic interviews with your favorite authors. I'm in a seriously witchy mood right now, so buckle up for all the magical realism, Halloween, powerful female forward novels - because I'm reading a bunch of them. First up is the writing duo of Hazel Beck sipping some peppermint tea and discussing the third

Emma Barry, The Chick Magnet and Spiked Iced Tea

Feb 18 2023 36 mins  
The Book: The Chick MagnetThe Drink: Hard Iced Tea (made by throwing a few tea bags in some booze - the way you should have been doing it all this time) Favorite Line: "When this tension broke, when the storm came, if it came, it was going to curl her toes, her hair. It might level the house. Level the two of them."I've been a fan of Emma Barry's work since her politics-set romance

Sonali Dev and The Vibrant Years

Feb 06 2023 38 mins  
The book: The Vibrant YearsThe drink: I honestly, can not even remember...Favorite line: “Some accidents were actually beautiful.”Oh my gosh! Sonali and I sat down BEFORE the holidays and then life completely got in the way. If you haven't picked up Sonali's fabulous multi-generational story DO IT NOW! Sonali is one of the most enthusiastic, wise and effervescent people I know.

Amy E Reichert, Once Upon A December, and mulled wine

Dec 14 2022 34 mins  
The Book: Once Upon A DecemberThe drink: Mulled wine but really a third cup of coffeeFavorite Line: Christmas wasn't a place or a season or a time. Christmas was a state of mind. Amy writes what I call modern, midwestern folk lore. The combination of her Milwaukee setting, earnest and good people, delicious food and magic is absolute catnip! This is a fabulous, timeless Holiday Rom

Suzanne Park, The Christmas Clash and Holiday Mules

Dec 05 2022 46 mins  
The book: The Christmas ClashThe drink: Holiday MulesFavorite Line: Chloe can't stand Peter Li and his smug, perfect faceWell, despite not having a holiday mule (for reasons I get into during my chat with Suzanne) I confess to some very embarrassing mall activities. (Clowning? What?) But The Christmas Clash is a fantastic YA Holiday romance that has some Romeo and Juliet vibes. Suz

Dr. Daphne Palmer Geanacopoulos, The Pirate's Wife and Posset

Nov 16 2022 38 mins  
Daphne stops by with a glass of Posset (which is essentially boiled milk and wine with spices) to discuss her swashbuckling new release The Pirate's Wife, about the life and times of Sarah Kidd. Sarah was the beloved wife of notorious pirate - Captain Kidd. This is a fascinating book that brings to life a woman that's largely been forgotten to history and overshadowed by the mythol

Bárbara Mujica, Miss Del Rio and Pisco Sours

Nov 07 2022 40 mins  
The Book: Miss Del RioThe Drink: Pisco Sours - with a bonus recipe demonstration from Bárbara.Miss Del Rio is a fascinating historical novel about a fascinating woman. For readers looking for a setting that isn't World War II Europe, I think you will find this one highly satisfying. Bárbara pulls off a neat magic trick using the POV of a fictional character to tell the story of a

Bianca Marais and The Witches of Moonshyne Manor

Nov 07 2022 36 mins  
The Book: The Witches of Moonshyne ManorThe Drink: Gin MartiniMy favorite line: Why were we taught to fear witches and not the men who burned them?A reviewer called this a Golden Girls meets Practical Magic - and they are not wrong. The sisterhood who live in Moonshyne Manor are funny, wise, slightly diabolical, passionate and more than a few of them are keeping some secrets. The p

Olesya Salnikova Gilmore, The Witch and The Tsar and Kvass

Oct 12 2022 37 mins  
The Book: The Witch and The TsarThe drink: Kvass (a drink made with fermented rye bread, we didn't actually drink this, though Olesya says it's delicious)Best line: He will be the greatest ruler that Russia has ever seen. Or he will tear her apart. Combining Russian folklore and history - Olesya's DEBUT novel is a a stunner. That's right - it's a debut! A feminist retelling of Baba
