Author Kem Joy Ukwu reads from her phone on stage in front of a neon yellow sign that says Newark Culture Club.
I got to see the wonderful author (and person!) Kem Joy Ukwu read at The Ghost Presents #LiteraryLibations, hosted by @maisycard.bsky.social - Kem’s “Locked Gray / Linked Blue” is fantastic, and I was thrilled she read one of my favorite stories. Highly recommend her book AND this event series! 🩶🩵
Promotional picture of the ”Berry Persuasive“ drink, a fun fictional drink featured in the romance novel Eastern Embarkation. This heartfelt story takes place in an immersive one-week cruise setting aboard the Emville Liberate fictional cruise ship, and this is a featured drink at “The Squeeze” wine & mojito bar onboard. The caption overlay reads: A burst of fresh berries meets mint and lime in this sparkling temptation that’s as smooth as it is sly. It starts off sweet, talks you into just one more, and before you know it, you’re making plans with someone whose name you don’t remember — or maybe you’re just dancing like nobody’s watching. Either way, it’s doing its job.
It’s drink week!

My next Literary Cocktails nite at the bar of Baan Siam in DC is inspired by a unique tale on the Wild West, dark family secrets, and monsters.
