G.P. Gottlieb (https://gpgottlieb.com) is the author of Battered, Smothered, and Charred, the first three Whipped & Sipped Mysteries now being reissued by Anam Cara Press (with sexy new covers)! Please don't buy the old versions - the evil successor of my first publisher has stolen every penny since 2023! Hm. An idea for a new mystery....

Because I write culinary mysteries, I count reading recipes, baking, and reading other people's books. Playing or listening to music is inspiring, so that's also work. Turns out I'm working most of time!(less)
