The Indie Pu‪b‬ J. Rushing

Episode 2: This week in the pub, author and NaNoWriMo staff alum Lindsey Grant and I dive into the ways National Novel Writing Month has evolved and how the program has impacted independent and self publishers. We also talk favorite gins, alternative recipes, and thinking outside the box when it comes to tonic water. 



A few corrections requested by our guest. 

Her tequila of choice for the tequila and tonic combination she mentioned is Don Julio not Jose Cuervo. 

Also, Camp NaNoWriMo is actually April and July, not April and June. 



Lindsey Grant is the author of of the memoir Sleeps with Dogs, the upcoming writer's workbook Ready, Set, Memoir (out in May), and co-author of Ready, Set, Novel.

1oz Chartreuse (Green is best)

Stir with ice until well chilled and strain into your favorite cocktail glass. Twist a sprig of rosemary over the top and drop it in.
