About the Hosts

Molly is an American-born British author who resides near the ocean in picturesque Cornwall with her hunky British husband, bubbly daughter, and their moody Jack Russell, Milo. She knew she wanted to be an author from the day she first read A Wrinkle in Time when she was a child, and she grew up inspired by authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien, Philip Pullman, Garth Nix, and Dennis Lehane (the ultimate master of plot twists). It has always been her dream to become a published author, and it is her hope to expand into multiple genres of fiction.

Rebecca is an American author who resides in the bucolic hills of West Virginia in the heart of Appalachia with her rugged husband, two hilarious daughters, and a small congress of animals. As you can see, she's fond of pretty words and has been since preschool. This is also probably why she wanted to be an author after reading Catherine Called Birdy when she was ten. This was the book that taught her how to say cuss words in a creative manner. Rebecca has two published short stories in the science-fiction and urban fantasy genres and plans to write full-length projects in the near future. She one day hopes to be able to add "multi-genre author" to her list of career titles.

The Astarion

Warning: Unlike the wine presented to you at the Tiefling celebration in Emerald Grove, this drink does NOT taste like vinegar. Best served chilled after obliterating the Goblin Camp.

50ml gin (something neutral like Gordons dry gin is fine)

100ml lemonade (fizzy lemonade for the Brits or 7Up/Sprite if you’re in the US)

100g fresh strawberries

100g fresh raspberries

(Alternatively, you can save on adding ice by using frozen fruit – something like ‘Summer mix’ for smoothies would be ideal).

Ice for preparation

Place fruit into the blender with ice and a splash of gin and blitz until puree’d. Place the sieve over a the small pan and pass the puree through the sieve with the spatula in order to remove seeds and pulp. Next, put all the puree into the glass and add the gin (go for a double if you're a classy broad like us!). Top up with lemonade and a few cubes of ice to keep chilled. Gently stir to combine. Add a straw and enjoy!
