Whether you're an author or not, you've heard it before: All authors drink.
But what do they drink?
Happy Friday, darlings! How about sharing a drink with MJ Compton and the Toke Lobo wolves?
In my Toke Lobo & the Pack series, the werewolves
are allergic to alcohol. It interferes with their liver function and prevents
them from changing—even on the full moon. And yet, the pack owns a brewery:
Moonsinger Beer. They do really well with Internet sales.
I like beer (Molson’s Golden), but my favorite quaff
is wine. I tend to drink more red than white, but is there anything better on a
hot summer day than a cold white wine? Especially if it has bubbles? My go-to
sparkling wine is Chateau Frank’s Blanc de Noirs. For those who believe “champagne”
should be saved for special occasions, I say this: “bubbles” makes every
occasion special. Don’t you deserve it?
Chateau Frank is part of the Dr. Konstantin Frank
Winery located in New York State’s Finger Lakes Region. Their wines win awards
all over the world, most recently in the San Francisco Chronicle’s Wine
Competition.
RECIPE
1
flute of sparkling wine per person
6
pomegranate arils per person
Drop
the arils (seeds) into the wine. Enjoy!
Lucy Callahan will do anything to rescue her sister
from a cult, even marry a werewolf she’s just met. But the werewolves are
working undercover for the government, and Lucy fears a confrontation between
the agents and the cult could be deadly.
Stoker Smith longs to be the best thing that ever
happened to his human mate. He wants to take her home, start their family, and
compose his music. And although his pack’s treaty with the government says he
doesn’t have to work undercover now that he’s mated, he promised Lucy he’d get
her sister out of the cult’s heavily armed compound. Lucy’s sister is now
family and to a werewolf, family is everything.
But Operation Jericho quickly turns ugly, thrusting
Lucy into the middle of her worst nightmare, where she must choose: her sister
or her husband.
MJ Compton grew up near Cardiff, New York, a place best known for its giant, which turned out to be a fiction so incredible, PT Barnum himself borrowed it. That’s a tough act to follow, but MJ tried—by composing her own stories.
Although her 30-year career in local television
included such highlights as being bitten by a lion, preempting a US President
for a college basketball game, giving a three-time world champion boxer a few
black eyes, a mention in the Drudge Report, and meeting her husband, MJ’s urge
to create her own stories never went away.
MJ still lives in upstate New York with her husband.
She’s a member of Romance Writers of America and Central New York Romance
Writers. Music and cooking are two of her passions, and she enjoys baseball and
college basketball, but she’s primarily focused on wine . . . and writing.
