My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The
Captain’s Log, Supplemental
When I went wine-tasting with my parents a couple weeks ago, we visited Rodney Strong winery and it was there I saw this chocolate bar.
It's a Red Fire Bar, with Mexican ancho and chipotle chilies, cinnamon, and dark chocolate.
Being the adventurous type, I bought it to try it.
I’m not disappointed. I’ve always enjoyed Mexican hot chocolate, which has cinnamon in it, and this reminded me of it. It also has a kick of pepper that I don’t really taste until after the chocolate is almost entirely melted in my mouth—then I can taste the spiciness at the back of my throat.
I think, personally, it could use a little less pepper—just enough to give a kick but not enough to be so noticeable.
On a whole, though, this is quite good.
I’m also surfing the chocolatier’s website and drooling over the unusual chocolates they have!
How about you? Any unusual or fabulous chocolate you’ve had?

It was really weird.
The same store, Widman's in Grand Forks, ND, has a specialty: Chippers, chocolate covered potato chips. They are very good too!
They also do chocolate covered jalapenos, but I'm not a jalapeno person so, no thanks.
Now, I prefer dark chocolate, and have learned to let it melt and really taste it to get the most out of the flavor.
I don't mind sampling finer chocolates, but it's not likely that I would ever buy any. It's not exactly harmonious with my current socio-economic status.
(Looking in my wallet) Vosges... no way, Jose.
