Earlier I had posted that you can now buy Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster on my website. But I forgot to mention that for a limited time, if you buy the eBook or the paperback , you’ll also get the annotated edition eBook with Easter Eggs, behind-the-scenes tidbits, research notes, and random author commentary FREE. Once the book goes into Kindle Unlimited, I can no longer offer the annotated version on my website, so be sure to get it now before the book goes up on Amazon. 10% off coupon code for ALL BOOKS I finally got all the Lady Wynwood’s Spies regular paperbacks in my store, and if you use the coupon code website10 , you can get 10% off all the eBooks and paperback books in my shop!

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.
