Hera Knightsbridge, my protagonist in A Deadly Draught and I welcome you to my website.  Because Hera is the real expert on beer, she will share this space with me, appearing from time to time to correct any mistakes I make about microbreweries and the making of lagers and ales. 

I wish you could drink Hera’s beer while you share her sleuthing adventures, but, since that’s not possible, she wants you to know there are craft breweries, brew pubs, and microbreweries, over 1500 of them, throughout the country. 

I’ve spent time in some of the finest microbreweries, talking to their master brewers.  That’s how beer won my heart, and how and why I created a microbrewer for my protagonist, me—a dedicated scotch and wine drinker. 

So now I know a little bit about beer.  Not only does it pair well with food, but it’s a fine accompaniment to solving murders.
