Join me as I chat with Supernatural's bodyguard Clif Kosterman

I am thrilled -- beyond thrilled, actually, more flabbergasted and still in shock -- to announce that, to celebrate the release of my bodyguard romance, Serving Sin, I will be chatting with bodyguard-to-the-stars Clif Kosterman, close protection specialist for Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, stars of the TV show, Supernatural.

Cocktail Recipe: Cranberry Sauce Old Fashioned

You might be scraping up the last of your cranberry sauce as you finish up Thanksgiving leftovers. But before you put it on your plate, I have another suggestion: put it in a cocktail shaker.

When you think about it, cranberry sauce — with softened cranberries, sugar, spices, and orange juice and zest — is a perfect base for the sweet-and-savory Old Fashioned.

Cranberry Sauce Old Fashioned

2 jiggers bourbon (I used Maker’s Mark)
1/2 Tbls cranberry sauce (I use this recipe)
1/4 jigger ginger simple syrup*
2 dashes orange-flavored bitters

Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker. Add ice. Shake hard, 15-20 seconds (shake hard so the ice can break up the sauce). Add ice and drink to rocks glass. Twist orange peel swath over top then add to glass. Enjoy!

*A recipe for ginger simple syrup is pretty easy to find online. I also provide a recipe on the free stuff page for my newsletter subscribers.

Dream Girl

Chapter One

Henry Walker didn't want anything getting between him and his whisky. Especially not the gorgeous redhead who sidled up to him at the mahogany-and-brass bar of the San Francisco hotel and laser-beamed him with her eyes while specifically ordering a bottle of wine produced by his world-famous best friend.

He might be known for his sunny Texas disposition and good ol' boy manners. But if she'd wanted to make his dark mood blacker, reminding him of his connection to PrincesaSofia de Esperanza y Santos, winemaker and owner of Bodega Sofia, was certainly the way. His best friend in the whole world was going to kill him. He'd just told that winemaker's sister-in-law—his boss, in fact—that he was quitting the job of his dreams.

He used all of his six-foot, three-inch height and healthy 260 pounds to glower away the pretty hanger-on. Then he finished off the double of twelve-year-old single malt Japanese whisky and signaled for another.

He needed to drown the image of his billionaire boss's hurt brown eyes.Henry Walker didn't want anything getting between him and his whisky.
