author of Girl Alt Delete

We’re so excited for Jill Marie Denton to join us this week with her book, Girl Alt Delete. We have a special coffee cocktail for you and some info about this great read.

Here is the blurb:

“Being a hacker has its perks. I’m privy to the stuff you’d prefer to keep hidden, whether you want me to be or not. It’s a good thing I’m on the side of justice. I have no interest in you if you keep your nose clean. When you threaten my bosses, though, I’ll become your worst nightmare. I’ve come too far in this life, and been on too many walks through hell, to let you escape unscathed. Challenge me. Go ahead. I dare you.”

She’s the ultimate protector, the ever-present guardian. She’s everywhere and nowhere at once, haunting the edges of the internet to protect five famous women. They saved her from a life behind bars. Now, she saves them from those who threaten their safety and privacy. It’s a full-time job, one she’s been training for her entire life. From devastating betrayal to ultimate conquest, this is her story.

Spring is finally upon us after the crazy NJ weather, and Mooshu is enjoying every minute of the sun while his mama went to meet and greet authors at her favorite book event of the year.

Still excited about this years event! Can’t wait for next year.

Normally, I introduce the author, give you their bio, and then onto the book, but I was so intrigued by the book, I had to share that first, lol. You know I’m a closet cyber geek and coder since before the world wide web-yes, I still code in DOS to keep myself familiar with it, but don’t hold that against an old coder. I was one of those kids that learned code where others learned spoken languages. It helped me work with my math obsession, and lets face it- with Ai now on the forefront of everything, some of us old hackers are back and playing, lol.

Jill Marie is a Le Cordon Bleu chef of over 20 years and a long-time fan of women’s fiction and rock music. She is also an award-winning podcaster and author.

Above all, she delights in creating humor-rich tales of conquest, featuring strong-willed characters, to help her readers realize their inner strength and the power of their passion.

SO we’ve got the author, the book, but no recipe. Let’s fix that. Jill suggested a coffee or kombucha recipe, because Lizzie, her cybercrime vigilante loves coffee and kombucha. I’ve got a great one for you!

Rich Orange Chocolate Liqueur & Coffee Recipe Recipe:

First lets get some equipment ready. We’re going to need an espresso maker or coffee maker-your preference. Brew 2 ounces per cup. The recipe is versatile, so if you’re not a fan of imbibing, you can swap out the chocolate orange liqueur for 1/2 the amount of chocolate syrup (you’ll see below).

Grab a tall glass and swirl in some chocolate syrup

Ingredients:

2 ounces coffee or espresso (decaf is okay)

1 ounce of Borgata Chocolate & Orange Liqueur, or 1/2 ounce chocolate syrup and 1/2 ounce water

Milk to taste ( I like to froth mine before adding)

Generous amount of whipped cream to top

Sprinkle of cinnamon for a dark spice or chocolate syrup if you’re all about the sweet

How to:

1. Let your coffee/espresso cool to room temperature if you are going for a cold drink, if not you’ll need to warm your milk.
2. Swirl chocolate in tall heat resistant glass
3. Mix coffee, Borgata Chocolate & Orange Liqueur or chocolate syrup/water in another container and stir until it looks velvety smooth. Add to glass
4. Add in your milk, if you are frothing the milk first, do it in a different container before adding it in
5. Top with enough whipped cream to make your ancient ancestor people happy and sprinkle on some cinnamon or swirl on some chocolate syrup.
6. Serve and enjoy

REMEMBER- if you’re drinking alcoholic beverages, do so safely. Stay home with a good book and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this Liquid Friday with me.
