Calling All Authors

Buy a Round for Your Readers

A drink just for you! Let's get together and talk about how I can create a customized drink card specifically for your book. These are big hits at signings and launch parties and make great additions to book boxes or as order incentives. See what other authors are saying.

“As a bestselling romance author, I've been lucky enough to work with Britta, A Bartender With A Book Problem, for two years. She is a true artist, unique with her uncanny ability to delve into the minds of several characters, creating not only a fabulous signature drink for each hero but vivid art that I've used several times at book conventions. The artful postcards are the highlight of the events sparking the liveliest discussions with readers.”

Welcome to the New Website

Coming Soon to the Site

Even with everything here so far, we are still mixing in the back! My husband has spent (and continues to spend) countless hours rebuilding me the site of my dreams… from scratch. Poking around you may find a few of the fun touches and “easter eggs” that he's included specifically for it to feel more personal.

By signing up for the newsletter you'll be one of the first to hear about new additions and pages on the site. Some things on that list are:

  • Our merch shop: Yes, it's coming back and it's going to be better than ever!
  • Product links page: Ever wonder where I find my glassware, which bar tools are my favorite, and how you can get your own? This page will be where you can find it!
  • #drinkthisbook – If you've followed me on socials, you've seen me use this tag for every drink pairing and more. This is a page dedicated to them.
  • A couple other super-secret, VERY unique pages and projects that I can't wait to share with you all.
