Lauren Evans, Casket Case and the second cheapest red wine at the store...

Mar 06 2025 31 mins

The premise of this book made me gasp. Made me read far into the night. Nora is dating Garrett. Garrett works for death. Clever, right? But there's more... Garrett is middle-management for death. There's a company structure and he's working his way up the ladder. This, of course, is totally a secret. He says his job is logistics and that makes sense. Nora is grieving the loss of he

Rochelle Weinstein, We Are Made of Stars, White Wine

Feb 26 2025 34 mins

I sat down with a glass of white wine to talk to one of my favorites - Rochelle Weinstein about her latest novel We Are Made of Stars. If you are a fan of the TV show White Lotus or the book/TV show Nine Perfect Strangers - this book is for you. Strangers gather at an inn for a week and drama unfolds. There's good food, excellent wine and everyone is keeping secrets. We talk about

Sweet Escape, Jillian Liotta and Meredith Wild and very fancy vineyard wines!

Feb 20 2025 41 mins

Oh, we all need an escape right now. The news is crushing. The weather is awful. Even my dog is bummed. Well, Jillian and Meredith have the right book at the right time - Sweet Escape. It's book two in a series but can be read alone, though, why not read the first one too? What else are you going to do? Shovel snow and doom scroll? Come for the romance which is crackly, tension-fil

Adriana Herrara, A Tropical Rebel Gets The Duke and a Negroni

Feb 12 2025 48 mins

I barely managed to stop this from turning into a fan girl moment for Elizabeth Lowell. It is so rare that I find someone who shares my outrageous fandom for that author - and here is Adriana ready to talk about her for days. BUT we had more important things to talk about - A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke currently a USA Today Bestseller! Adriana gets very real about ending a series

Chelsea Iverson, The Peculiar Garden of Harriet Hunt, Earl Grey Tea

Feb 06 2025 33 mins

I know, I know, I said no more witches but who can resist a sentient garden? Who can resist ivy that senses emotions or a plum tree that's fruit is an opiate? Who can resist a heroine who feels trapped by the garden but the garden is the only thing that's ever taken care of her? NOT ME! I CAN NOT RESIST! The Peculiar Garden of Harriet Hunt is a delicious novel about a woman coming

Alison Gaylin, We Are Watching and a Bloody Mary

Jan 31 2025 39 mins

Oh! OH! This one is BONKERS! You're going to need a Bloody Mary at some point while reading this absolute page turner. Alison combines conspiracy theories, cults and grief. It's a huge story and also a very small story. I honestly feel like there were some magic tricks in the writing of We Are Watching - all of which we talk about in our fantastic conversation. “Alison Gaylin pro

Ines Johnson, Page Turner Pacing and sake

Jan 21 2025 53 mins

This is one for the authors. Any author. All The authors. Forget every bit of pacing advice you've ever been given and pick up Ines' book - Page Turner Pacing How To Write a Bingeworthy Novel in 21 Days Using the Addictive Principals of Episodic TV. This book is broken, for me, into two parts. The beats tv writers use to keep viewers coming back for more and how to use them to writ

Naima Simone, Church Girl and there was so much to talk about we didn't get to a drink....

Dec 26 2024 38 mins

There are a few things that make an author a favorite. And what makes Naima Simone a favorite of mine - is she always understands the assignment. This is a writer who gets romance. She knows how to pay off the tropes, how to create fully alive characters and most importantly, keep the pages turning. I've read a lot of Naima's books but nothing prepared me for Church Girl. It's hot.

Heather Webb and Hazel Gaynor, Christmas With The Queen and a Dubbonet and Gin

Dec 19 2024 45 mins

I had no idea Queen Elizabeth II had a favorite cocktail. Did you? A Dubbonet and Gin and let me tell you, that first sip is a doozy, but after that it's delicious drinking. Much in the same way Heather Webb and Hazel Gaynor's latest release: Christmas With The Queen is just delightful reading. Rich with historical details and cozy Christmas details and a lovely star-crossed love s

Monica Chenault-Kilgore The Jewel of the Blues and A French 75

Monica stops by to talk about her fascinating and fast-paced Historical Fiction - The Jewel of the Blues while sipping the most sophisticated cocktail there is - The French 75. Deliciousness all the way around. The Jewel of the Blues rich with impeccable and fascinating research about the 1920's Vaudeville Circuit.
