To continue the celebration of my new book DRAGON KNIGHT’S AXE, I wanted to have a drink to toast my couple ~ Alastair and Fiona. This cool, refreshing beverage is one I know Fiona will enjoy. However, I believe Alastair would prefer to have his mead.
In addition, I had the lovely opportunity to visit Kimi’s Medieval Author Blog. I surprised her by showing up with Alastair MacKay! For a chance to win a signed print copy of DRAGON KNIGHT’S AXE and swag (Alastair’s suggestion), come on over and leave a comment. One winner will be chosen by Alastair on Tuesday (July 7th) morning.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! Be safe and enjoy!
Sounds delicious. I love strawberries in all forms: fresh, in ice cream, juice.
Enjoy the lemonade slush and Happy Independence Day, Mary!
Carmen, many years ago I grew strawberries, but they didn’t last long. As soon as the fruit appeared on the plants, birds arrived to feast on them. We’re fortunate that we can purchase them year-round.
Thanks so much! 🙂
Yum! And it’s perfect for our wonderful heat! Have a happy and safe Fourth of July.
Exactly, Dianne! You and Skye have a lovely weekend, too. 🙂
