Pulling themselves away from an Actual Play, David and Jack find themselves drawn into the horror zone of the Audioverse with Beatrix Greene. Written by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins, this historical horror story traps a group of sleuths in a haunted house desperate to escape the wrath of a vengeful ghost. Beatrix Greene makes her living by playing pretend. She knows the seances she conducts are fake, but financial freedom for a single woman in Victorian England is hard to come by. So when notorious scientist James Walker makes her a proposition—prove that ghosts are real, once and for all, for a hefty price—she can't resist the temptation. But the ghosts of Ashbury Manor are very real, indeed, and when Beatrix summons one by accident, she and the other guests of the evening are terrified but find the doors of the manor won't allow escape. Only unraveling secrets from the Manor's past will banish the ghost for good.  Beatrix Greene is a Realm production, written by Rachel Hawkins, Ash Parsons, and Vicky Alvear Shecter!

I am back home for a few weeks before I return to Sevilla. I love gardenia and jasmine season! Here are my Favorites to Read, Watch, Collect, Eat, and Cook for this month. This is a good one! Oh, and thank you to all my new subscribers. I appreciate your support! Diary of a Serial Hostess is a reader-supported publication. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber to receive new posts and support my work.ReadTable for Two by Amor Towles. A collection of short stories and a longer novella. Fans of Amor Towels will not be disappointed. It is one of those books I want to start reading again the second I finish. Close to Death by Anthony Horowitz is just as captivating as all his previous works, but especially this one, which seems a lot more personal and insightful. I adore his relationship with his sidekick, a retired British policeman. The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins. A rich family, a large estate, adoptions, inheritances, and many secrets. Always an interesting topic. WatchJeanne du Barry in Netflix. I laughed, I cried, and I loved every second. The acting is superb, and the scenery, costumes, etc… incredibly beautiful. Yes, it is in French with subtitles but it is so riveting you are not going to multi-task during this movie. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in movies. The collection of the best-looking men I have ever seen together. It has a bit of spy thriller history, a bit of Ian Fleming and Winston Churchill, and a lot of action. Guy Richie directed it. A Man in Full. Apple TV. Really well done. Bits of the Tom Wolfe book come to the screen just as I imagined them. I loved it. CollectStyle multiplied by a thousand is what Casa Cabana is all about. I have been an avid fan of this publication for ever and subscribe to their newletters and magazines. They make only two issues a year, and each one of them is better than the last. And, are, of course, trully collectibles. Authenticity, creativity, that wonderful mix of european design, and old-world mixes with the best of the new. I am totally smitten. They also have a great online shop: Cabana with the best accesories, clothes, ceramics, glassware…. EatI have to give Trader Joe's total credit for their frozen Tortilla de Patatas. It is really, really good. I thaw it and then cook it on both sides in a saute pan with a bit of olive oil. Grab it if you see it and keep it in your freezer. It is perfect for a quick mid-week supper and to slice into squares for a hearty appetizer. Cook Continuing my healthy eating, even when friends come over and, so, for this ladies' lunch, I served smoked salmon and hard boiled eggs as the protein with a de-constructed room-temperature salad. I also added some goat cheese for those who can indulge. Salad dressings are on the side - creamy ranch and classic vinaigrette and my latest favorite condiment, crispy garlic & onion. This is what I served, but you can always add more of your favorite vegetables depending on the season. * Roasted baby potatoes (warm)* Roasted eggplant (warm) * Roasted Shisito peppers* Artichoke halves (cold) * Sliced tomatoesArranged all the foods on a platter and the baby lettuce greens in a bowl. That way, everyone can serve themselves picking their favorite ingredients. Dessert, to continue with the healthy theme, I served mixed berries dressed with a little orange juice.And with this, I leave you!

The Heiress - Rachel Hawkins  With unexpected twists and heart-throbbing pacing, it draws you into a captivating mystery set within the claustrophobic Ashby House. The secrets hidden behind its closed doors, along with its notorious and heartless inhabitants, add to the intrigue.    The Boys in the Boat - Daniel James Brown  Told against the backdrop of the Great Depression, The Boys in the Boat is narrative non-fiction of the first order; a personal story full of lyricism and unexpected beauty that rises above the grand sweep of history and captures instead the purest essence of what it means to be alive.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Riley's. Plus CMA fest artists.   On a Happy Note Walking at the beach with Megg & Maria before Oisin's boat race. His team set the course record for the day! Laura came in from NY that evening and joined us for Tom's birthday dinner. On Sunday, I drove down to Orleans where Laura was house sitting to watch the Love is Blind "live" Re-union debacle on Netflix. Training at the gym & the energy that comes with it! Going w/ Riley and Mom to get our nails done before Nantucket. Riley took us for boba smoothies afterwards. We had a great time. Riley was showing a friend a nail polish in TJ Maxx that looks like mine and it was the exact color of OPI I always get- Don't Bossa Nova Me Around- and she bought it for me. So sweet! Nantucket! 4 day weekend was just the break I needed from work. The candy and cookie taste tests were a fun way to do something memorable without having to spend a ton of time or money. Getting Mom to watch on Love is Blind Watching The Sinner on Netflix with Dan. Working on a slide show for my friend's son's Bar Mitzvah.   Quote of the Week Writer and psychoanalyst Marion Milner on the work required to be happy:   "Let no one think it is an easy way because it is concerned with moments of happiness rather than with stern duty or high moral endeavour. For what is really easy, as I found, is to blind one's eyes to what one really likes, to drift into accepting one's wants ready-made from other people, and to evade the continual day to day sifting of values."   Source: A Life of One's Own   ------   Thank you for tuning in!   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

We're so excited to discuss Before We Were Innocent by Ella Berman, a 2 time BOP book club author! This book fits right in the venn diagram of Becca and Olivia's differing book tastes. We discuss how we felt about the friendship between the characters in the past vs present timeline (and between teenage girls in general), if we saw the twists coming, the Amanda Knox parallels, thoughts on the ending, and ask ourselves the question ‘who would you go to if you were suspected of murder?'    If you like this book, listen to the The Shit No One Tells You About Writing interview with Ella Berman, and for more books similar to Before We Were Innocent, check out The Comeback by  Ella Berman, The The Villa by Rachel Hawkins, and I Have Some Questions for You by Rebecca Makkai.    Obsessions Becca: Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs Olivia: Memes about Drew Barrymore's interview style    What we read this week!

Written by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins, this historical horror story traps a group of sleuths in a haunted house desperate to escape the wrath of a vengeful ghost.   Beatrix Greene makes her living by playing pretend. She knows the seances she conducts are fake, but financial freedom for a single woman in Victorian England is hard to come by. So when notorious scientist James Walker makes her a proposition—prove that ghosts are real, once and for all, for a hefty price—she can't resist the temptation.   But the ghosts of Ashbury Manor are very real, indeed, and when Beatrix summons one by accident, she and the other guests of the evening are terrified but find the doors of the manor won't allow escape. Only unraveling secrets from the Manor's past will banish the ghost for good.  As time runs out and death stalks the halls, Beatrix and James must work together or risk being the haunting's next victims.  For more shows like this, visit Realm.fm, and sign up for our newsletter while you're there!

February.  The month of commercialized love aka Valentines Day.  While buying chocolates and teddy bears is a questionable way to show you love someone; it is a good reminder that we need to show support and be vocal about appreciating those who love us, especially those who have stood by us in our worst moments.   Brain injury is a unique circumstance in a relationship where roles change quickly.  Suddenly an independent partner has increased needs and the significant other becomes a caregiver.  This is a really hard time for the survivor and spouse.  This month, we talk with some amazing couples who have stuck together through the hard times.  A true in sickness and in health test.   For our first in the series, stroke survivor Tymiak and his beautiful wife Rachel Hawkins provide their perspectives on what was needed for their relationship to thrive post injury.  Join us as we listen to them converse about communication, mindfulness, honesty and the roles they play in keeping a solid relationship post brain injury.  Links to any resources mentioned:  Becoming the Light: Navigating the Darkness after Stroke by Tymiak Hawkins.  https://tymiakhawkins.com/ (Buy here.)

Rachel Hawkins' 2020 release of “The Wife Upstairs” was a huge hit. The contemporary thriller inspired by “Jane Eyre” was the first release outside of the YA genre and showed she can craft a page-turner for a variety of audiences. Rachel talks with Olivia about “Reckless Girls” (published January 2022) that tracks Lux and her boyfriend Nico as they sail off from Hawaii in search of Meroe Island, a remote location with a dark, menacing history with other twenty-somethings in search of adventure and packed with secrets. Rachel talks about her recent success under the pseudonym Erin Sterling, choosing a new name, her love of literature, and her next thriller in the works. In a special Moment with Margaret, Margaret Stewart recommends a 2010 book with a nautical theme, “Bloody Jack” by L.A. Meyer, and explains why she has no interest in slowing down her audio speed.
