Mug Shots #MFRWAuthor

Hey friends,

Today some of my author friends and I are sharing our favorite "mug shots". Believe it or not, I'm not a coffee drinker. I love the smell of freshly ground beans, of delicious blends like Hazelnut and French Vanilla, but the taste...blech! I'm a green tea or hot chocolate drinker. Preferably tea in the morning and during the day, and hot chocolate (mounded with whipped cream and maybe a shot of armareto) at night. 

​Today I'm writing and drinking my Yogi Blueberry Slim Life tea out of my favorite mug. I love it because of it's size. Yeah, you know, size does matter. :-) And it's festive, too.

I'd love to see a picture of you and your favorite mug! Tell us what hot beverage you like to sip on during these cold winter nights. Oh, and don't forget to check out the author's links as well. I promise there are amazing books on their websites!

Natalina Reis believes there's nothing like strong (but not bitter) coffee as in espresso and flat whites. She doesn't need the caffeine, just the flavor. Ahhhhh...

Christa Maurice's favorite beverage is Aldi's Double Mocha. It was out of stock for a while last spring when they changed distributors and she thought the world was ending.

​Nina Pierce starts the morning with home-brewed Dunkin’ hazelnut coffee with a dollop of half n half (she’s too sweet to need sugar) enjoyed in a mug from her bestie!

Wanda Thomas's favorite mugs come from a cross-country road trip, where she collected a new coffee cup as she stopped at Cracker Barrel Restaurants from Maine to Arkansas to rent audiobooks. Her love of travel also finds its reflection in her love of reading and writing historical romance.

Every morning, to jumpstart her muse, Delsora Lowe sits down with her writing partners (Murphy and Dolly) to her story in progress with a cup of Prince of Wales tea with honey. She won this mug at her very first writers retreat about twelve years ago, so the mug filled with hot tea is an integral part of her writing ritual.

Annette Mardis's favorite steamy beverage is an old favorite: hot chocolate, served in her Winter the dolphin (think: Dolphin Tale movies) mug. She's a Florida girl born and bred, but this drink reminds her of getting cozy before a roaring fire and cuddling on cold nights.

Even though this mug almost aways has coffee in it, Tami Lund's true, true fave hot beverage is fresh apple cider with a hefty dose of dark rum. Yum!
