This is the first week of the Cookies and Cocktails feature on my radio show, Naturally Twisted, and below you will find the recipes along with some handy links.

Because I’m swamped right now, I’m running late getting this up, so I’ll keep my usually long-winded commentary to a minimum this week.

Thanks for stopping by, and if you’re here because you heard the show, thanks for listening!

Anyone who knows me knows that September to January is my favorite time of year. I love the fall season with the cooler weather, rich colors, deep fragrances, and warm food. And yes, I am a pumpkin spice fan! I’m also an early Christmas prepper, so as Thanksgiving approaches, I’m already shopping, wrapping, planning holiday baking days, and making menu lists. I love fireplaces, candy canes, Bing Crosby, and Miracles that only happen on 34th Street. And yes, I believe in Santa Claus!

HA Blackwood was one of my first author friends, and the wonderful things I have to say about him could fill up an entire website all its own. He’s witty, hilariously funny, thoughtful, disarmingly charming…and incredibly talented. On both personal and professional levels, he has been invaluable to me.

Together, we initially navigated and learned the ropes of the Twitter #WritingCommunity with many moments that saw my face streaked with tears of laughter, he’s helped me with everything from scen...

This month, I am very happy to bring you an interview with the quirky and talented John Prather. His latest book launched at the beginning of this month, and it comes as no surprise to me that it’s already receiving rave reviews.

John’s adventurous spirit gives way to witty tales of satire that will leave you asking, “What’s he writing next?” Well, you heard it here first! Keep an eye on this one – you never know where he’ll pop up. He’s also a strikingly humble and refreshingly open personality...
