OMFG y'all!

This episode was uploaded about 10 days ago and was supposed to go live on the 15th of September. HOWEVER - apparently, for the first time in ages, I had a tech glitch. And also for the first time in ages, I did not double check that everything worked, so I only noticed when I came back to upload this week's episode. So - you get new stuff two days in a row!

The Kickstarter has been live for a week now and is fully funded and is working towards the awesomesauce stretch goals. Go to the KS site and pledge your support! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcaneawakenings/arcane-awakenings

In today’s episode of Cliffhangers and Cocktails, Shéa interviews five of the eighteen authors (including our very own Amy Cissell) who are part of the Arcane Awakenings anthology that went live on Kickstarter today!

We also discuss a few magical ways to wake your own creativity, share our magical and mystical drinks, and as always, try to have a few shenanigans.

The full show notes, including recipes for today’s cocktails, are on our website: https://www.cliffhangersandcocktails.com/post/episode-55-arcane-awakenings

In today’s episode of Cliffhangers and Cocktails, Shéa and Amy Just Say No — to Ghosts! We’re talking spirit-free fun with mocktails.

Not everyone wants to drink all the time. Not everyone drinks. We wanted to make sure to cover sans alcohol drinks that are still totally witchy and 100% spellcraft. Yay, potions!

Now, sit back, grab your fave N/A beverage (ideas in the website show notes), relax, and enjoy a Twist of Magic with Amy & Shéa!
