Whether you're an author or not, you've heard it before: All authors drink.
But what do they drink?
Such a boring favorite drink, but NOT the way I make it
Tonic

About Raven:
Well what can I say?
I'm growing old disgracefully and loving it.
Dh and I live on the edge of a Scottish forest, and rattle
around in a house much too big for us.
Our kids have grown up and flown the nest, but roll back up
when they want to take a deep breath and smell the daisies so to speak.
I write in my study, which overlooks the garden and the
lane. I'm often seen procrastinating, by checking out the wild life,
looking—only looking—at the ironing basket and assuring tourists that indeed,
I'm not the bed and breakfast. That would mean cooking fried eggs without
breaking the yolks, and disturbing the dust bunnies as they procreate under the
beds. Not to be thought of.
Being able to do what I love, and knowing people get
pleasure from my writing is fantastic. Long may it last.
